It Is Too Early to Threaten Nigerians With 2027 Election – Kaduna Cleric to Northern Elders

The former Chairman of the Kaduna State chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, has slammed Norther Elders Forum.

He warned them that it is too early for the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, to threaten Nigerians with the 2027 election.

In a statement on Friday, Hayab said, “It is sad to read that some members of NEF are saying North will not vote for Tinubu in the next election in 2027.”

He added, “As a stakeholder, I find this call coming at the wrong time and lacking good reasoning. The speed at which our Naira is improving against dollars shows Tinubu is doing better than our almighty Buhari.”

He further explained that the speed at which Nigeria got the Kuriga school children from Kaduna State back is a huge progress in handling insecurity compared to how innocent parents suffered when Bethel Baptist school children and others were kidnapped.

He advised, “NEF should instead seek ways to collaborate with this government to find solutions to insecurity, hunger, improved economy and making our currency add value for the overall progress and development of the country.

“Threatening the government with no vote in 2027 shows they may not have a good heart for the progress of the country but are only interested in what they will benefit.”

Hayab challenged groups like NEF to support government to make the country great and a better place for all Nigerians.

“Let us not bring issues that have no basics at this time for the progress of our land. We need elders that will help unite the country, offer useful advice that will help the nation not coming up with provocative statements that will only provoke other regions to start making statements that will further bring division and confusion in the country,” he further advised.
