From Abubakar Yunusa
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has committed its support to the conduct of a credible election and a peaceful transition.
The forum urged members to vote for any candidates that can work for the interests of the group.
The forum made the adoption at the General Assembly of the Northern Elders Forum as Patriotic citizens of Nigeria, in Abuja on Wednesday.
It also urged to respect the popular will expressed by credible elections, irrespective of the origin and identity of the winner, and also resist any attempt to subvert our democratic system by any unconstitutional means.
“We would support the next administration to address major challenges that inhibit the growth, development, peace, and security of the North and Nigeria.
“We would engage the rest of Nigeria as respected equals, and continue to demand that the rights of Northerners will not be abused, sacrificed, or neglected by any government or group.”
