Presidency, Northern Elders Trade Accusations over Insecurity via thisdaylive
The presidency and the Northern Elders Forum yesterday engaged in a war of words over the worsening insecurity in the north.
He recalled that Abdullahi had supported another candidate against his principal at the 2019 presidential election, saying his action is antipathy. “The former vice chancellor signed the statement under the banner of Northern Elders Forum . Hearing that title, you would think the body was a conglomeration of true elders. But the truth is that NEF is just Ango Abdullahi, and Ango Abdullahi is NEF.
Earlier yesterday, NEF, in a statement issued in Kaduna, by Abdullahi, said the security situation was getting worst by the day as people were being maimed and killed by bandits. “Recent escalation of attacks by bandits, rustlers and insurgents leave the only conclusion that the people of the North are now completely at the mercy of armed gangs who roam towns and villages at will, wreaking havoc.
While calling for an urgent action to redress the situation, NEF said: “It is now time to say, enough is enough. Our people are known for their patience and respect for constituted authorities, but all governments must be aware by now that all northerners have been pushed to the wall.
