Prof. Ango Abdullahi, the convener of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), has led a delegation of northern elders to Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, to meet with former President Olusegun.

On Tuesday evening, Abdullahi and his team met with Obasanjo behind closed doors to discuss issues affecting the country, particularly as the country approaches the 2023 general election.

Nastura Ashir Shariff, Chairman of the CNG Board of Trustees (BOT), and Aminu Adam, Director of CNG Action and Mobilization, are among those in the group.

After the two-hour meeting, Abdullahi stated that the country needed good news from the 2023 elections, which necessitated strategizing.
He stressed that in spite of their ages, they still deemed it necessary to contribute to the society and the country, hence, the visit to Obasanjo.

He said, “I don’t want to stay away from him for so many months or years without seeing him, especially at this period.

“So, I’m visiting him to say hello and get a briefing from him on how he feels about the nation. We also briefed him on how we feel about the nation. We compared some notes and we agreed on some grounds.”

While saying Obasanjo was on the same page with the northern elders on issues raised, the professor retorted, “Yes. We are on the same page and Insha Allah it shall be well.”
