Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) spokesman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, said on Tuesday that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, are both getting older.

WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that Baba-Ahmed stated this during an interview on Channels TV.

Baba-Ahmed’s remarks come just days after the convener of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Ango Abdullahi, announced the forum’s preferred presidential candidate.

He did not, however, reveal the identity of the presidential candidate, saying that the NEF and Ohanaeze are debating who to support in the upcoming election.

On Tuesday, Baba-Ahmed said that if Atiku and Tinubu are elected president in 2023, they will need experienced people with integrity around them.

He said;

Most of the front runners now are Atiku and Tinubu are ageing and even at their best, they can’t do everything they want to do. They need excellent sort of people around them, people with knowledge of how to fix Nigeria. This is the most important thing.

The second thing is to find people with integrity, not those who will convert public money to theirs. They should be good, competent people full of ideas and people who have evidence that they fear good.
