Northern Elders Warn Shettima Over Imposition Of Senate President"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A northern socio-political group that operates under the auspices of the Northern Elders Forum has once more cautioned against imposing the 10th Senate President and insisted that the 109 senators-elect be given the freedom to select their leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The northern elders had just warned against using religion\u2014Islam or Christianity\u2014as a criterion for choosing the 10th Senate&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The group highlighted that it has previously warned the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to respect the privileges and rights of elected members of the National Assembly to select their leaders and to advocate &#8220;for its preferences with sensitivity and decorum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The northern elders knocked Vice President Kashim Shettima over his comments that \u201cunder the current dispensation, the worst incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The NEF Director, Publicity and Advocacy, Dr <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/04\/08\/datti-baba-ahmed-breaks-silence-on-wole-soyinka-call-for-public-debate\/\">Hakeem Baba-Ahmed<\/a>, while addressing a press conference in Kaduna State on Monday, described the Vice President\u2019s statement as \u201cunfortunate,\u201d saying that such utterances would have been avoided had the senators-elect been allowed to pick the Senate President of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>Baba-Ahmed, a former Secretary of the Independent National Electoral Commission, explained that the attempt to impose the Senate leadership caused the vice president\u2019s gaffe ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The NEF\u2019s spokesman said, \u201cThe nation has been made aware of comments made by His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima, Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in the course of strengthening the cause for election of leaders of the 10th Assembly, which the APC and the government prefer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA particularly outstanding comment made by him is that under the current dispensation, the worst, the most incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Northern Elders Forum has cautioned the President Tinubu administration on many occasions to respect the rights and privileges of elected members of the Legislature to choose their leaders and to conduct its campaign for its preferences with sensitivity and decorum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe statement of Vice President Shettima in the context of the commitment of the administration to determine the legislature\u2019s leadership makes references to Muslim and Christian faiths in the most unbecoming and irresponsible manner imaginable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt deepens the worrying position of religious faith as a fault line in our politics today and denigrates the place of an important value such as faith in conduct of elected leaders, whether they are Muslims or Christians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suggestion that poor faith and incompetence can be preferred to piety and competence when it suits political interests sends damaging signals to a nation desperate for good leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA statement of this nature coming from a Northern Muslim who has earned his respect in the course of his political career is most unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suggestion that the piety of leaders could be sacrificed for political exigences offends a nation of Christians and Muslims who watch as leaders swear by the Qur\u2019an and the Bible to protect the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baba-Ahmed added, \u201cThe Vice President has done himself, his faith and his standing a great injury with his comments, and the Forum hopes he can find appropriate opportunities to assure Nigerians that the Tinubu administration will respect sensitive values that define us as Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important that Nigerians discard the notion that the quality of our faith has no place in deciding those who lead us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is instructive that leaders who rode on the back of faith now turn around to advise that it is of no significance where their interests are at stake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Forum advises the Tinubu administration once again to respect the rights of the legislature to operate as prescribed in the constitution and allow legislators a free hand to choose their leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the desperation to determine leaders of the legislature that is responsible for damaging gaffes such as the nation just heard from our Vice President, and it may not be the last damage that can be caused to our democracy and national cohesion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A northern socio-political group that operates under the auspices
