Northern leaders have decried the increasing rate of hunger in the land.

They have, therefore, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to work harder to fix the nation’s economy, which is currently in recession.

The leaders, who spoke in Kaduna at an emergency meeting, however, said that despite the current economic situation, their votes for him (Buhari) in the 2015 presidential election were never wasted.

A former Secretary of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spoke on behalf of the northern elders at the Northern Group’s Summit organised by the Northern Elders Forum in Kaduna on Monday.

According to him, if Buhari presented himself for Presidency in 2019, they would gladly vote for him

He said, “Today, we meet in Kaduna in a vastly-improved security atmosphere, with the Boko Haram sect pinned to enclaves. Some will say thank you to President Buhari; we will say, you have delivered on one of your promises, which was to improve our security.”

The former INEC boss, however, reminded the President that there was hunger and starvation in the land.

He said, “We will not join those who say President Buhari should stop reminding us of a past that is haunting us today. But we will join those who remind him daily that hunger is stalking millions of homes. Inflation is making life difficult by the day.

“People are losing their jobs. Businesses are closing down. Infrastructure is decaying. Young Nigerians are losing hope of being employed. Our hospitals are full of people who suffer mysterious illnesses, and they cannot afford the fees.”

Baba-Ahmed said despite the current economic woes in the country, the North did not make mistakes in voting for the President.

He added, “So, those who are disposed to listen, please listen. Northern votes were not wasted in electing President Buhari.

“In 2019, we will also use our votes in a manner consistent with our interests as northerners. We did not make a mistake in putting up a solid, united front as northerners in spite of our ethno-religions differences.”

Few weeks ago, a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Ahmadu Ali affirmed that Nigerians will vote for President Muhammadu Buhari if he decides to present himself for another term in office.

Ok

These are the real zombies.

Ab*ki na abokii

this ones da colo... kolomental

I wish them good luck, they think we the yoruba muslims are still sleeping

People should go and learn the difference between voting for someone and electing someone

North can vote for who they like but their votes alone can't single handedly elect anyone,

Zombies!
Pple ar dying nd u guyz ar busy talking rubbish. Well, m nt surprised tho'... ur grand master gat ntin upstairs.

The hatred for him is just a particular set

So 2019 religious and ethnic will play out

Which is very bad for a developing nation

That is if hunger no kill you before then....we go vote buhari in 2019 (voice deepens in 2016)....2017 (we go vote)...2018...(we go...coughs).....2019...no voice

Me sef go vote am if he decides to contest, all na change na, anuofia, bunch of silly nd stupid people that should ve been excised from this country long ago,

We can't cohabit with these people peacefully in this same country anymore, cohabiting will always breed trouble and confusion, they re too backward and will always hold over parts of the country down and hence hindering National development
.

.Regional government is the best option and way to go since they re holding onto the centre tentatively like its their God given right to do so.

Many people will be pelted in 2019 if they try to shout change again.
