The Northern Elders Forum, also called Kungiyar Dattawan Arewa Initiative (KDAI) recently congratulated the re-elected President, Muhammadu Buhari on his remarkable victory in Saturday’s election, describing the win as evidence the people believed in his promises.
The association said the polls marked an important era in Nigeria’s democratic race that began 20 years ago.
A statement from group read, “Its outcome in terms of majority votes and national spread is the first of its kind in the political history of Nigeria.
“The national spread across the regions, parties, religion and tribe is far in excess of the mandatory constitutional requirement of the two-third of the votes cast in all states and the FCT.
“This is a clear vote confidence in Mr President and his ability to deliver on promises made to the electorate, be it the economy, unflinching fight against graft and security, among others.”
“in spite of circles of endorsements, elites’ gang-up, spread of fake news, and social media propaganda, he still won.”.
