In his words: “The attention of Northern Elders Forum has been drawn to a statement by Malam Garba Shehu, Special Assistant to the President on Media, claiming that the Forum has released a statement instigating a section of Nigeria to leave the country”.
“Malam Garba Shehu’s statement did not quote a single word in the ‘statement’, and did not mention its signatory or its date”.
“As a former journalist, he must know that no self-respecting journalist will take this statement seriously. His statement was entirely a monologue castigating the Forum over fiction which only he can understand”. jamb results
“The Forum believes in the rights of all Nigerians to live in peace and aspire to their dreams.It believes in the utility and desirability of a united and strong Nigeria which will meet the aspirations of all citizens”.
“It is baffling to see this unfair attribution from the Presidency, at a time when calm nerves are needed, and statesmanship should be on display.
“The Northern Elders Forum restates that it made no such release, and advises leaders to note the very sensitive times in which we live at the moment.”
