The statement attributed to Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the Director of Media and Advocacy of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), suggests that the North gave the highest votes to each of the four main candidates in the 2023 presidential election, including Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Baba-Ahmed claims that the North gave Tinubu 63% of the votes because they saw promise in him and hopes that Tinubu will not disappoint the region.
It is important to note that this statement represents Baba-Ahmed’s viewpoint and perspective. The voting patterns and reasons behind the votes in the presidential election can vary across different regions and individuals. It is also worth mentioning that the veracity of the specific voting percentages mentioned in the statement cannot be independently verified based on the information provided.
Additionally, Baba-Ahmed stated that it was not Tinubu but former President Muhammadu Buhari who removed fuel subsidy, despite Tinubu’s administration taking credit for it. Baba-Ahmed urged Tinubu to be different from Buhari and address the challenges facing Nigeria with courage, expressing concern about the country enduring another eight years of misgovernance and incompetence.
