Share THE chairman of the Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi has said that the North has paid a huge price for the survival of Nigeria, adding that in the next election, the region will think outside the box to elect better leaders and it won’t vote along ethno-religious line. He added that the new leaders would do better than the current ones because the current ones have failed Nigerians. Abdullahi noted that politicians that will be voted from the region in the next election must have socio-economic development plans for the northerners irrespective of tribe and religion.
