The Northern Elders Forum, NEF has expressed concerns that both the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and the leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP have no answers to what Nigerians want in a candidate in 2023.
NEF Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spoke when he featured on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ breakfast programme monitored by our correspondent.
Also, the NEF spokesman said that Nigeria needs a President who realises the need to rebuild the country, secure Nigerians and boost the economy from the downward slope.
“The nation needs a leader that would do the things that President (Muhammadu) Buhari hasn’t done, create inclusiveness, address resentment and frustration in other parts of the country and in the north and speak and act for everybody,” he added.
He noted that the “smaller parties” should be given the opportunity to field candidates with the character and capacity to lead Nigeria from all her current woes.
