Northern Elders Split Over President Tinubu's Reforms, Accusations of Political Grievances

The Northern Elder Forum (NEF) has split into two groups over President Tinubu's economic reforms, with one faction disowning a statement supporting the reforms. The disowned statement praised Tinubu's reforms, while the opposing group accused NEF of losing moral authority and becoming a platform for political grievances.

The group against the reforms emphasized the need for job creation, infrastructure development, and education in the North. They warned against using the North as a weapon against the reforms for partisan interests.
