‘Tinubu Is Doing Better Than Our Almighty Buhari’ – Hayab Slams NEF Over 2027 Election Comment

Meanwhile, the former Chairman of the Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. John Joseph Hayab, has slammed the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) comment on the next general elections.

Hayab, who was responding to an alleged threat by the NEF to boycott Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, said it was too early for the Northern elders to worry Nigerians about an election coming in the next three years.

In a statement issued on Friday, Hayab said, “It is sad to read that some members of NEF are saying North will not vote for Tinubu in the next election in 2027.

“As a stakeholder, I find this call coming at the wrong time and lacking good reasoning. The speed at which our Naira is improving against dollars shows Tinubu is doing better than our almighty Buhari.”
