NEF, Zulum Advise Nigerians On 2023 Presidency, Ogbeh Decries Weak Economy by Perfecttouchade: 6:53am On Jan 21, 2022
The Northern Elders’ Forum has said the situation in Nigeria has shown that the country does not need an ethnic President in 2023.

The spokesman for the group, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated this on Thursday at the 19th Daily Trust Dialogue with the theme, ‘2023: The Politics, Economy and Security’.

While expressing concerns over the tension in the polity in the build-up to the general elections, Baba-Ahmed said 90 per cent of Nigerian governors had no business being anywhere near power.

According to him, most of the governors don’t have the preparation, background and competencies to govern.
One of the worst things you can do is to create huge additional anger around the cost of living, the cost of fuel, cost of prices, pushing the citizen into more depression and you want to have elections just a few months after,” he stated.

While calling for restructuring of the country, he added, “What we really need to do is put the federal system on the table and ask what is wrong?

“What is it that makes it impossible to reduce the powers or to regulate the powers of governance and restructure the country? But this is a word that is anathema to a lot of people in power today.”

For Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State, Nigerians must look into the possibility of selecting good leaders rather than focusing on the elections.

He said contrary to rumours, he was not interested in aspiring for any higher political position in 2023, adding that becoming the governor of Borno was not something he planned.

Zulum stated, “We are now coming closer to the 2023 general elections but for me, it’s not important, I’m not interested in any position. I never planned to be the governor of Borno State and I’m not willing to aspire for any higher position, but as a Muslim, you should always pray for the best.”
“We have to look into the possibility of selecting good leaders, whether we like it or not. How? That remains the very big question; whether in the PDP, whether in the APC, I think we need to see how we can get good leaders.”

A former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, said Nigeria’s democracy was founded on a very turbulent and weak economic arrangement.

He said, “What we are practising here is fraud. A widow in a distant village, who is suffering, is blaming one man in Abuja, Buhari, but nobody blames the governor or the local government chairman.
What we are seeing is the rise in the cost of food. We have reached a stage where farmers can’t even go to the farm and harvest their crops, because they have to pay bandits. And those bandits don’t see any connection between them and this country. They are so angry that for them, it is a state of anarchy.”

On his part, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, called on Nigerians to be part of politics and governance as the institutions were too important to be left to politicians alone.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar said the nation was facing real and existential threats never experienced before.

Atiku observed that as the 2023 elections were drawing closer, the political class and parties must begin the process of identifying a leader capable of finding solutions to the problems and uniting the people.

We all seems to know the problem of the country and could easily proffer solution on papers but the positive reality has been elusive.

While it is true, they lack the moral strength to say it.
Why were they not saying this 4 years ago?

If Nigerians are ready for a non-rancorous Nigeria, then they would ensure equity and justice be the guiding principle as we approach 2023.

Therefore Umahi/Zulum should be APC candidates for 2023 presidential elections.

Because after Obasanjo’s 8 years presidency...

And Osinbajo’s likely 8 years as Vice President, another Southwesterner has no business around the presidency.

And that’s why this idiot below should never been given a chance because he and his sea of social irritants do not mean well for Nigeria.

Ndi ala!

NEF wants to advice on restructuring now? This country is been ruined by a greedy lot.. Let us start holding every chain of command from the grass root till the top accountable..don't blame buhari for what your LGA chairman or state governor is doing..start the revolution from the grassroot and you will see that things will fall in place..it is very convenient to blame the president but what about the other tiers of power who also have responsibilities to the masses?

Igbos have equal claims to the Presidency as much as Itsekiris, Igalas, Ikwerre, Beroms, Yakurrs, Annangs and other tribes that have never produced the President.
If you want to cause trouble because you spent the last 8 years insulting other Nigerians and now begging them to vote for you, please be free to cause trouble. Just make it is limited to your 5 states. If you as much as cause trouble in Asaba outside Igboland, you will be handled like animals.

We can’t have another old docile and medical tourism President. The American System is strong enough to function with anybody as president.

On the other hand Nigeria has no systems they are weak and subservient to the president hence we need a president that understands and respects both the law and the people. A president that can get up and drive the economy and deliver and corruption free. Not Sm1 that talks on national issues and goes completely off point.

Voters card has expired how it that possible?
Herdsmen and security issue u hear Evans name.
A schemer rather than leading by example.

Obasanjo and Osinbajo do not support the SW. Obasanjo was imposed by the military and Osinbanjo is a nobody.

You want an Igbo presidency but who will support the Igbo leader?
