Although he has started mobilizing support among the political elite in some states in the south, the 2011 political aspiration of former military President Ibrahim Babangida is yet to make impact in the north.

Already, some top Arewa elders are considering advising the gap-toothed general against a presidential bid that some see as a demonstration of opportunism and disloyalty to one of his closest friends.

Although officials of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) told The Nation that the body had not yet seen any need to formally discuss issues about any of the potential presidential aspirants, some respected elders working outside the forum believe that IBB should not be in the race.
