“Why this lamentation?

Lick your wounds in silence
please.”

This is one of the numerous comments antagonizing the Northern Elders Forum for its latest rants on President Muhammadu Buhari.

Apparently, in a press conference organized by the Northern Elders Forum, the forum’s spokesperson, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed in his statement called out President Buhari for failing the North in terms of security and poverty level in the region. The Elders Forum only just re-echoed what many well meaning Nigerians have been saying about the APC led Federal Government.

The Forum felt it is now necessary for them to make public their stands about the state of the nation.

Boko Haram, bandits and herdsmen are all killing and maiming tens of people in the North almost on a daily basis with little or no form of resistance by the security agencies. This obviously made the Northern Elders Forum to speak out
against the increase of insecurity in the land.
