Published

‎According to a report from Leadership Newspaper on Wednesday, June 11, The League of Northern Democrats (LND) has issued a stern warning to key opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, stating that Nigerians will blame them if their failure to unite leads to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

‎Dr. Ladan Salihu who is the National Publicity Secretary, accused opposition leaders of prioritizing personal ambitions over the collective mission to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In an interview, he stated:

‎”If Tinubu wins again in 2027, Nigerians will hold the opposition coalition fully responsible. The 2023 election results showed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) collectively secured 63% of the votes. If they fail to unite now, it will be a betrayal of the people’s trust.”

‎Salihu stated that Nigerians are watching closely and will either celebrate the coalition’s success or condemn its failure.

Federal allocations, investment patterns favour only south, northern Nigeria abandoned – NEF

Published

on

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has sounded the alarm on what it terms “shocking under-representation of capital allocations for infrastructure.”

NEF claimed, not for the first time, that federal allocations have almost always been denied northern Nigeria, especially the North East.

In a statement issued by NEF spokesperson, Professor Abubakar Jika Jiddere, the forum said recent investment patterns overwhelmingly favor Southern Nigeria, ignoring the North’s pressing development needs.

“This lack of inclusion is not a mistake of policy. It is a real and danger to national unity. If the capital infrastructure debt in the North East isn’t addressed, it will only increase the extra level of inequality and risk of conflict.”

The NEF called for immediate corrective measures, including, the inclusion of critical road and railway projects for the North East in the national development agenda., a public explanation from the Federal Ministry of Works and the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) on the regional disparities in infrastructure funding, a firm commitment from Northern lawmakers, governors, and ministers to oppose any federal budget or framework that does not reflect balanced and inclusive development.

The forum emphasized that equitable investment is vital not just for regional fairness, but for preserving national cohesion and stability.
