The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has recommended that at its meeting tomorrow, the Council of State should consider the benefits of having all the elections on the same day in March in order to avoid detrimental effects on security.
,Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the NEF’s director of publicity and advocacy, further stated that the council should also suggest that President Buhari reassess the timelines for ongoing currency exchange.
“I hope they will review the very difficult conditions under which the Nigerian citizen lives today, and advise on measures to relieve the poor, in particular of avoidable hardships. They should look at the merit of holding all the elections in one day in March to avert negative security consequences.
“The council should advise the president to review the timelines for ongoing currency exchange. It should assure the nation that our democracy is safe and our economic unity is not being threatened,” he said.
