The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has declared full support for Yemi Osinbajo as Nigeria’s Acting President.

The forum also also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his steadfast respect for the constitution in transferring power to Mr. Osinbajo when it became necessary for him to travel to seek for medical treatment.



The Deputy leader of the Forum, Paul Unongo, made the commendation while addressing a news conference shortly after a meeting in Kano on Thursday.

“The Forum expresses its full support and encouragement behind Acting President Osinbajo and urges him to exercise responsibility, as he did in the past, with commitment, sensitivity and respect for the Constitution.

“We urge him to ignore mischief which seeks to pitch him against the President or the Nigerian people whose mandates they both exercise,” Mr. Unongo said.

He called on all persons with responsibility to cooperate fully with the Acting President to sustain a united, focused and committed administration to achieve the desired results.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday travelled to the UK for medical treatment ensuring he transmitted power to his vice president via letters to the National Assembly.

The Northern Elders Forum also commended President Buhari for securing the northern part of the country from the clutches of Boko Haram.


Mr. Unongo said the president deserved to be commended for tackling the Boko Haram insurgency especially in the North-East.

“Buhari has confronted the issue that has been disturbing us by tackling the insurgency which had caused a lot of havoc in the region especially the three states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa,” he said.
He also commended the sterling contributions of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, for providing the necessary leadership to stabilise the polity.

“We expect that the war against corruption will not suffer a setback, and current investigations and activities will not be stalled due to the absence of President Buhari.

“Like millions of Nigerians, the Northern Elders Forum prays for the return to full health of President Muhammadu Buhari,” Mr. Unongo added.

The forum also advised northern state governors to complete all abandoned projects they inherited from their predecessors for the benefit of the people.

“I want to use this opportunity to advice our governors in the North to borrow a leaf from the governor of Kano State who is ready to complete projects abandoned over 20 years ago.
“We are impressed by the style of Kano State governor.

“While most of the governors are eager to start their own projects, Ganduje completed projects abandoned by late Abubakar Rimi, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau and Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
“He has shown maturity and this is what we feel should be done.

“If you as governor meet an uncompleted project, complete it if it will improve the living standard of your people,” he said.

Mr. Unongo stressed the need for governors in the region to ensure prudent management of public funds to provide their respective states with necessary infrastructure.

He commended the Borno State government for its effort to improve the living conditions of the people especially those affected by the activities of insurgents.

“We are going round the states to see what is going on. We went to Borno, Yobe and Adamawa and we are happy the security situation in those states has improved,” Mr. Unongo said.

Whether they give their support or not, the constitution requires the VP to take over the mandate of leadership when the president is on leave or attending to his health.

Northerners don't own Nigeria.

Well, that's how it should be. Not littering the entire space with nonsense because of some "born to rule" mentality.

Support whoever is there regardless of whether they are of your ethnic stock or not and see if yours will not be supported in return.

Simple give and take, you cannot practice!

The flaattties from the yeast will be very troubled/disturbed by this news, as expected.

As usual, some of them are already trying to spin the support and make it look like it's fake/insincere.

They had earnestly hoped that their aboooki lords will be spitting fire by now.

Unfortunateky the aboookis have fallen their hands because they are far wiser than the flatttiesss assume,

Re: Northern Elders Declare “full Support” For Osinbajo by davodyguy: 9:51am On May 12, 2017
pathetic.

I responded to another version of the news as below stated


these people are bunch of retards and lunatics

He pledged the forum’s support for Osinbajo’s acting presidency, advising him to be wary of enemies in the discharge of his duties. His words:”The forum expresses its full support and encouragement for Acting President Osinbajo and urges him to exercise responsibility, as he did in the past with commitment, sensitivity and respect for the constitution. We urge him to ignore mischief makers who seek to pit him against the president or the people whose mandate they both exercise.

Point 1

Who are the mischief makers? What about Abba Kyari the chief mischief maker? Are they referring to him or to Jagaban?

Jagaban doesn't have your time, you irrelevant mumu. He would not act now, but wait on the fence should buhari not be able to complete his term.



“The forum expects that the task of governing the nation will continue uninterrupted until the return of President Muhammadu Buhari. We, therefore, appeal to Nigerians to be cooperative, focused and committed

Point 2 of idiocy. No one is disputing that. He was away for over a month, governance continued. If he chooses to stay away till 2019, heaven will not fall. Sick mentalos



But elder statesman, Malam Tanko Yakassai yesterday reiterated his opposition to calls for the restructuring of Nigeria.Speaking to The Guardian, he urged those behind such an agitation to channel their energies towards ensuring good governance in the polity.


He particularly accused Nigerians of south west extraction of masterminding the agitation with the ultimate desire to ensure the breakup of the country.

This guy is high on somethimg no one knows.

The IPOB of MAssob or Niger Deltans are the one calling the most for restructuring and not the Yorubas, You old F**l.

From this direct attack, it shows they're upset that the Yoruba man is leading the country now.

They have this born to rule mentality, which is pathetic.


The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) yesterday vowed to resist any move to undermine the current administration on account of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ill health.
Unfortunately it is buhari's health that's failing him and not any other tribe.

No one is undermining him. Do these mumu think if by chance buhari can't continue, a northern automatically becomes the president? Hell no.

Exactly.
So their "full support" really is very redundant. We have a constitution.
