The North did in my sitting room to defeat Tofa. All these are sacrifices being made by northerners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd even you are talking about the years in power since 1999 till date, Obasanjo ruled for 8 years, Jonathan ruled for 6 years which is 14 years, Umaru Ya\u2019ardua did 2 years and Buhari is doing 8 which is 10 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The northern elder said the region is hoping that the election will be conducted free, fair and credible and anybody who wins the election must be accepted as the winner of the election without sentiment, and if there is any attempt to subvert it, then the north will be ready to counter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northerns Elders Forum (NEF) has said the region has made sacrifices and played a crucial role in the peaceful coexistence of Nigeria.
