NEF spokesman replies Festus Keyamo after he said they don’t represent the North

The spokesman for the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba Ahmed has responded to Festus Keyamo, spokesman for the All Progressive Congress Presidential Election Council, regarding statements recently attributed to him.

In a recent interview with Channels Television, the Nigerian minister of state for Labour and Employment, belittled the influence the Northern Elders Forum has on the outcome of votes in the northern part of the country. In his words, “they don’t represent the North, they don’t speak for the North”

However, while reacting to the statement made by Festus Keyamo towards the end of the same interview, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said if that’s the attitude the All Progressives Congress has for the North, they are going nowhere.

Hear him, “if this is the kind of attitude the APC would have in relation to the North, I’m sorry for their campaign, they’re going nowhere, this is the kind of attitude that would lose on that election, it’s a very wrong approach to adopt”
