Insecurity: Postpone 2022 national census - Northerners appeal to Buhari

Critical stakeholders of the north led by the Northern Elders Forum that met under “Northern Leaders of Thought” in Kaduna have strongly advised the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to postpone the planned 2022 National Census considering a large number of displaced Nigerians and the proximity of the census to the 2023 elections.

The meeting, which discussed issues affecting the northern region and the country at large noted, “The meeting recognizes our ethnoreligious diversity in the north which is a source of strength that should be celebrated. The meeting further observed that all faiths teach us to imbibe the spirit of tolerance and not hate or attack those who worship in a different way.

The participants stated that the fundamental rights of all political parties to field candidates of their choices, and the right of voters to freely exercise choices over who leads them cannot be compromised, stressing that northerners have equal rights to aspire to all offices but they must raise competence, evidence of personal integrity and commitments to the rule of law above all other considerations.

The meeting recognized the ethnoreligious diversity in the north that is a source of strength should be celebrated, while the meeting further observed that all faiths teach people to imbibe the spirit of tolerance and not hate or attack those who worship in a different way. The meeting recognized that education in the region has never been more imperilled than now, as insecurity has exponentially increased the number of out of school children, saying that school abductions closures and excruciating poverty have set back education in the region for many generations.

Because they know he will not manuoulate figures. The census should go on.

Nobody should postpone census o. It is time we know the total number of people in the north before 2023 election (even if it will not hold). Their lies must be uncover. We want to know how many people bokoharam Don kill.

Fear of revealing the truth the north is over estimated. There are more people in the south than they are in the north.

Tell him the truth
