Immediate past chairman of the Kaduna State chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev (Dr) John Joseph Hayab, has noted with concern that it is too early for Northern Elders Forum (NEF) to threaten Nigerians with the 2027 election.
Rev Hayab in a statement on Friday, said “It is sad to read that some members of NEF are saying North will not vote for Tinubu in 2027 election” stressing that as a stakeholder, he finds such call coming at the wrong time and that it lacks good reasoning, adding that, “the speed at which our naira is improving against dollars shows Tinubu is doing better than our Almighty Buhari.”
He further explained that the speed at which Nigerians got the Kuriga school children from Kaduna state back is a huge progress in handling insecurity compared to how innocent parents suffer when Bethel Baptist school children and others were kidnapped which took a long time, after parents paid millions of naira as ransom for the children to regain their freedom.
He advised, “NEF should instead seek ways to collaborate with this government to find solutions to insecurity, hunger, improve the economy and make our currency add value for the overall progress and development of the country.
“Threatening the government with no vote in 2027 shows they may not have a good heart for the progress of the country but are only interested in what they will benefit.”
He challenged groups like NEF to use their groups to support and challenge their leaders or government authorities to make the country great and a better place for all Nigerians.
