The Northern Elders Forum has accused the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari of turning tribes in the country against each other.
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed Spokesman of the group, made this assertion while speaking during an interview on Arise television on Friday. He also alleged that Buhari’s government had played up tribal politics to a dangerous level.
He said the present leaders have run thecountry aground. He called on Nigerians to ensure that consideration of tribe does not determine the emergence of a president, governor, or any other leader in 2021.

Reacting to a resolution by southern governors that the presidency should come from the south in 2023, Baba-Ahmed said the north is not opposed to the call, but warned that it would be setting a dangerous precedent for the nation’s constitutional democracy when the president has to emerge based solely on the part of the country he/she comes from.
