A pressure group, Arewa Economic Renewal Forum (AERF) has highlighted some of the conditions including a blueprint for human capital development and the
development of the economic potentials of Northern Nigeria for its people to support any of the candidates in the forthcoming presidential election.
Members of the group drawn from different parts of the north said as the 2023 general election inches closer, “we are at a crossroads and are constrained to reserve the pool of our vote for a candidate with our interest at heart as we will no longer settle for less.”Against this backdrop, the Arewa Economic Renewal Forum is demanding a strategic blueprint for the rapid renewal and economic transformation of Northern Nigeria from all aspirants gunning for the nation’s top job.
Part of the conditions is that the potentially preferred candidate must have a plan that entails a visible roadmap to reviving comatose Northern industries, harnessing virgin resources and utilisation of demographic advantages for the empowerment of our people in terms of education and wealth creation.
