The Northern Elders Forum has admitted regret in voting out Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to vote in President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the Director of Publicity and Advocacy of the forum Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed while speaking on Arise TV on Wednesday.
According to him, “Is there any Nigerian who is not disappointed in President Buhari including diehard APC people? Is there anybody who would not tell you he wished President Buhari had done much better?”
He stated that, “We raised huge expectations, we told people, ‘Get rid of Jonathan, put Buhari there, he would fix corruption, he would fix insecurity, he would fix the economy’ (but) look at where we are now.”
He said that, “How can anybody say they are happy with the record of President Buhari, even the people very close to him would tell you that they wished he could have done much better and he could have done much better and he hasn’t.”
He noted that, “The nation needs a leader that would do the things that President (Muhammadu) Buhari hasn’t done, create inclusiveness, address resentment and frustration in other parts of the country and in the north and speak and act for everybody.”
