The Northern Elders Forum, on Tuesday stated that the people in the region are regretting supporting President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.

Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, the spokesperson of the forum, said this in an interview with The Guardian.

He noted that in subsequent polls, particularly the 2027 general elections, the region will prioritize unity and consensus in selecting a candidate for the highest office in Nigeria.

“The North made a mistake in voting Bola Tinubu to the presidency in 2023, and it is unlikely that they will repeat the same error in the future.

“They have learned from their past misstep and will strive to select a candidate who can unite the country and govern in the best interests of all Nigerians.

“Moving forward, the North will be more cautious in selecting a candidate for the presidency. They will prioritize someone who is seen as more inclusive, less controversial, and more aligned with the interests of all regions of the country”, he said.

Tinubu was also accused by Northern groups of lopsided appointments in the federal government.
