Ahead of the forthcoming 2023 general elections which is few months away the National Director of Publicity for the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has stated a condition that must be met in order for him to suport Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The NEF spokesman while speaking with Channels Television,maintained that he would only support the Obi/Datti ticket if they are the best candidates in 2023.
As stated by him, “I can only root for Obi and my younger brother Datti if they are the best candidates.
You know I’m working on a project with Northern Elders Forum, which gives all the candidates a level playing ground.”
He also stressed that a lot of Nigerians might be disenfranchised due to insecurity adding that insecurity might prevent the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from deploying materials for the election.
“There is a huge problem that must be tackled decisively. If you look at the South East, IPOB, unknown gunmen, whatever are targeting people and moving freely.
People are being prevented from voting because some people are burning INEC facilities,” he stated.
