The Northern Stakeholders Forum, NSF, said President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC had disappointed Nigerians, and as such they opted to vote Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The Director, Action and Mobilisation of the group, Aminu Adam made this known at a zonal town hall meeting at Mambayya House in Kano, explaining that NSF voted Buhari in 2015 due so much craving and campaigning for credible leader who would promote the northern Nigerians.
The director explained that when Buhari came to power, they discover that he had failed to fulfill his campaign promises, especially in the area of fighting corruption, economy and security.
He said, “In 2015, we fully supported Buhari because we believed he was the only person to move northern Nigeria forward. This is because we see that north is lagging behind in terms of development.
“Ironically, when Buhari came to power, we realized that he even prefers south to the north that gave him unprecedented votes.
“Buhari has failed to fulfill his campaign promises, especially in the areas of economy, corruption and security.
“Look at how killings are becoming the order of the day. People of Zamfara have turned to refugees as a result of incessant killings. Likewise Katsina, Kaduna, Taraba, Benue states and other places.
“That is why we have now decided to try Atiku Abubakar because we believe in his integrity and compassion for the masses. We also believe in his ability to perform better than Buhari.”
