Build Good Accountable Government, Buhari Is Living None Behind – Northern Elders Forum Tells President-elect, Tinubu

 

The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has said the most difficult task for the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, is how he would gain Nigerians’ trust as the country’s president.

The group’s spokesperson, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated that Tinubu would have the most difficult job as president in the world.

The NEF added that the president-elect “will have to build his own foundations of good and accountable government because Buhari will leave none behind.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as the president-elect.

This was amid protests by the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and calls from various quarters that the results of the elections should be cancelled going by irregularities around the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS).

However, Baba-Ahmed stated that Tinubu faces difficulties in gaining the trust of disgruntled Nigerians.

Writing in his weekly column, Baba-Ahmed wrote: “The President to be sworn-in on May 29 will have the most difficult job to handle in the world.

“His biggest challenge will be to win some trust. No leader anywhere can achieve anything of value unless he can get enough citizens to believe that he means well, and he respects them.

“The next president will have to build his own foundations of good and accountable government because Buhari will leave none behind.”
