The acting Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Alhaji Musa
Liman Kwande, has said northerners will vote for only a presidential
candidate of northern origin in 2023 irrespective of their political
party.
Daily Trust sports reports that Kwande stated this on Sunday in Lafia,
Nasarawa state.
“I am expressing my opinion as a full-pledged Northerner and a citizen
of Nigeria and not that of ACF”, he said.
“Northern Nigerians who are tested and trusted should contest for any
political office with anybody from any part of Nigeria and the people
should exercise their democratic franchise to vote for their candidate
of choice.”
The Baraden-generalissimo of Lafia, added, “Nigeria is our country, we
must unite and develop it despite being from different geographical
locations.
“We should not relent in the pursuit of growth and development as we
are blessed with gifted people and many resources, as only Nigerians
would develop the country to greater heights.”
Kwande urged Northerners to strive towards developing the region by
voting for people who are pro-development and not those who are
self-centred.
He called on politicians to accept election results and be statesmen
and advised youths should avoid being used as political thugs.
