We campaigned against Buhari because he failed us. We paid the biggest price for Buhari’s failure and we northerners are not soft on Buhari.

Baba-Ahmed, who recently joined the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), stated that northerners are still looking for partners to salvage the country and build a nation our forefathers wanted.

The NEF spokesperson stated that northerners will not defend anyone based on where he comes from, stressing that the presidency is not for any region or tribe to give away.
