The Arewa Joint Committee that interacted with some presidential candidates ahead of the 2023 presidential election said on Tuesday that the exercise was not meant to endorse any particular candidate for the forthcoming election.
“Only Atiku could clarify his comments on Igbo and Yoruba presidential candidates. We asked questions to which he responded, so we are not in a position to react to his comments in Arewa House,” he said.
“These interactions, the first of their type in the history of our country, have been a tremendous success. First, they demonstrated the strong bonds of unity of the people of the North, represented by the collaborating groups and our unquestioning commitment to the search for the best quality of leadership among the many candidates who want our support.
“Third, they afforded Nigerians a rare opportunity to see and hear candidates speak about their plans and vision. “Finally, they raised the bar in our search for leadership that respects accountability and competence.
