NEF to Buhari: Assert Your Authority, Don’t Allow IPOB Intimidate, Prevent Nigerians from Voting Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to assert its legitimate authority on any lawless
The Northern Elders Forum has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to assert its legitimate authority on any lawless group in any part of the country, especially the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and ensure that voters are not prevented or threatened.
The group lamented the deafening silence from leaders, elders and politicians from the region and other parts of Nigeria over these dangerous threats, which it said was deeply disturbing. It said: “These threats are being followed by actual attacks on government buildings and killings, including killing of policemen in the region. Without a robust challenge of these dangerous trends, those behind these lawless acts are likely to assume that they will succeed.
The forum stated that threat to the elections was a threat to the democratic system, and the very foundations on which the nation rests, adding that If it succeeds, the threat would signal the start of other crises the country may not recover from.
