If you want our vote, stop killing Northerners in South-East – Baba-Ahmed

The spokesman of Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has issued a caution against killing Northerners in the Southeast.

Baba-Ahmed on Friday, August 05, 2022, morning took to the microblogging platform, Twitter to say that politicians who will count on their votes in the 2023 general elections should immediately condemn the acts.

The NEF spokesman decried the alleged attack and targeting of northerners in the region, noting that the development if not addressed will further worsen community relations in other parts of the country.

He stressed that such action against Northerners must stop.

What Baba-Ahmed tweeted: “Targeting and killing of Northerners, particularly in the South-East, should be condemned, and must stop.

“It is very dangerous because it could worsen community relations in other parts of the country.

“We need to hear clear and emphatic condemnations from those who want our votes.”

What NEF said 2 weeks ago: Baba-Ahmed highlighted reasons the 2023 general elections would be the most decisive since 1999.

Baba-Ahmed said the 2023 elections would show if Nigerians have decided to reverse the journey to destruction.
