The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has denied the media report that that suggested that the forum has approved the purported second term bidof President Muhammadu Buhari.

The forum's convener, Paul Unongo, was quoted in an interview that President Buhari had been adopted as the candidate of the north.

A statement issued yesterday in Abuja by the forum's director of logistic at its national secretariat, Captain Bashir Sodangi, said all the views expressed by Unongo in the said interview represented his personal opinion and not that of NEF.

The statement pointed out that the forum which had not met since September 2017 had never discussed the politics of 2019 not to talk of adopting a candidate.

"It follows therefore that NEF has at no time recently met, discussed or adopted a common candidate for the 2019 presidency.

"If at any time the NEF should meet on 2019, our position supported by detailed reasons, shall be duly communicated through our official communication channel as usual," the statement read in part.

The NEF, while thanking Nigetians for their concern and cooperation, also urged them to be patient.

Kik

I laf in in Swahili, Buhari is a failure

Disarray everywhere!!!

Nobody wants to come in contact with a disaster and a monumental failure again.

Old "sharks" looking for money. Atiku2019

Who wants to come close to an idiot that smells of sh*it n piss? NOBODY!

Arewa youths denounced Buhari and now Northern Elders Forum are also finding him as an anathema that they are not confident of endorsing.
The north fully knows that Buhari is a complete flop but are just afraid to fully express it except some fellas like Shehu Sanni,Balarabe Musa,Junaid Mohammed.
Guess zombies are yet to agree that this colossal failure of a president does not deserves any drop of their sweat and blood?
