Northern Elders’ Forum, political burden to region —Mattawalle

has described the Northern Elders’ Forum as a political burden to the region, saying that they do not speak for Northerners.

Mattawalle said: “This NEF is more of a political burden to Northerners. The group is seeking to erode other people’s rights in order to be recognised or made relevant in the scheme of things despite the failure of their sponsored candidates in the 2023 general elections. “This same group of people has intentionally shied away from their responsibility of engendering unity in the North by appreciating the incremental development being brought to the region by Ministers appointed by President Tinubu from the North, especially North West.

“The majority of them are more interested in faulting the government so as to be recognised or accorded some relevance.
