2023 Elections Will Be Tough, Northern Elders Raise Alarm

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has expressed fears that the 2023 general elections will be tough.

Naija News reports that the spokesman of the forum, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, made this known via his Twitter handle on Monday.

Baba-Ahmed stated that the upcoming general elections will be tough because the political parties will decide who Nigerians vote for or against in 2023.

The NEF spokesman warned Nigerians against electing leaders who will become the problems of the country ahead of the forthcoming elections.

“Now our political parties will decide who we vote for or against in 2023. They should know that Nigerians will reject poor and bad choices.

“They may decide candidates, but voters will decide who wins. We want leaders who will fix problems, not become our problems. 2023 will be tough,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nigerian human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has declared his intention to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Sowore, who declared his presidential ambition on Facebook on Tuesday, is set to fly the flag of the African Action Congress (AAC).

“SOWORE FOR President,” the online newspaper publisher wrote.

Sowore was AAC’s presidential candidate in the 2019 election but lost the election to President Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
