The spokesman for the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has given some conditions for a politician from the South to become the next president.

Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday, Baba-Ahmed called on Nigerians to see beyond religious and ethnic sentiments during the 2023 general elections.

He said the demands by the southern governors that the region must produce the next president was not presented properly.

“You cannot threaten us with violence and intimidation. We can read the constitution; we know what it takes to be the president. You have to score at least 25 percent in 24 states. There are no 24 states in the north, which means no northerner can become president, unless he gets from the southern part of the country.

“By the same token, no southerner can become president unless he gets from the north. We understand this; we are not ignorant. We know there will be a time when someone from the south will become president.

“But it must be a president that will emerge through the political and electoral process. He must be a president that southerners and northerners both like and vote to make him or her president.

“He must be a Nigerian president, not an ethnic president, not a regional president, not a religious president,” Baba-Ahmed said.

With all due respect sir, thunder fire you there. Is your president a nigerian president or a tribal president. Somebody who has the stupidity enough to refer to one region as a dot in the map.
Thunder fire you!

This man is funny, which notherner was speaking on his or her behalf?

Nonsense

abeg help me ask am oo.... is Buhari a Nigerian or a tribalstic president

They suddenly gripped with southern's fear by turning around to change their statement

Who is this one trying to lecture? He's telling us what we already know.With middle belt slipping off their finger, the recent southern unity is really sending cold jitters down their spine

“He must be a Nigerian president, not an ethnic president, not a regional president, not a religious president,”

It will do this country a lot of good if that man from your region; still piloting the affairs of this country could do the same.

But your current president is a tribal and northern region president.

had this man is not a Nigeria

This man is scare of southern president that will repay the north what Buhari did to the south. I guess one bad turn deserve another.

The most foolish thing for a Southerner president to do is not replicating PMB's nepotism x10 so that any Notherner that would ever become president again would know that there are consequences to the things you do.

When PMB was doing it many of them did not vehemently opposed it and backtrack thier but onseeing that the next Southern president has the same moral rights to replicate what PMB did, they are now saying this. Alas they are so nepostic that they are even building a naval base in the desert.

North need to wake up, bokoharam/bandit has destroyed the unity that u people used to enjoy

The south have more pathroictic politicians who can unite nigeria than the north.

Mohamed1:
I had this man is not a Nigeria

Yes he is a mauritanian.

ok

JOemmy:



Yes he is a mauritanian.

his parents are likely from Cotonou and Yoruba by tribe but he is himself a Nigerian by birth and a northerner

“He must be a Nigerian president, not an ethnic president, not a regional president, not a religious president,” Baba-Ahmed said.

Very rich coming from a northerner.

excess talk, if the north wants to throw their hat in the ring... Do so, not a crime if a northerner succeeds buhari, afterall Jonathan was elected in 2011 and heaven didn't fall..

Very rich coming from a northerner.

There’s nothing rich about that statement. The ploy is to con the southern divide to ing a candidate anointed by them. This is to safeguard all the nepotistic installments achieved by Bubu. They just want to continue to be in power by proxy.

FOOOOOOLS!

Unserious bunch of parasites!

Thank God for the sudden woke of the Southern Nigeria.

Very soon you'all will have your terrorism, illiteracy, poverty, ravaged and ruined North for yourselves!

He's simply referring to Ashiwaju Ahmad Bola Tinubu

Meanwhile, most of you just read headline and react base on it. That's tomfoolery of you all to have comment without knowing the context of the message. He didn't lie

Pls where is ango abdulahhi seff?
