The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has disclosed the role Northerners played in the outcome of the just concluded elections. In a tweet released on his Twitter handle few hours ago, he said northern votes were decisive in the outcome of the election.

Recall that during the last presidential election, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi was unable to emerge victorious despite the huge support he got from some parts of the south. Due to the low amount of votes he got in the north, he came third behind the duo of Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu who made large inroads in the north.

However, while replying to a critic who berated for him allegedly saying that power is in the north, the northern elder statesman wrote “Northern votes were decisive in the outcome of the elections, up to this stage.”
