The Northern Elders Forum, otherwise known as Kungiyar Dattawan Arewa Initiative (KDAI), has insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Porgressives Congress ‘rounly’ defeated his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, counterpart, Atiku Abubakar at the just-concluded presidential election on February 23.
The forum described the spread of his votes as a vote confidence in his ability to deliver on promises made to the electorate.

INEC had declared President Buhari winner having polled 15,191,847 votes as against Atiku Abubakar’s 11,262,978 votes with a victory margin of 3,928,869 votes.
The KDAI stated this in a joint statement by its Convener, Gen. Paul Tarfa and the Deputy Convener, Mr Sani Daura, on Friday in Abuja.
“Its outcome in terms of majority votes and national spread is the first of its kind in the political history of Nigeria.
“The national spread across the regions, parties, religion and tribe is far in excess of the mandatory constitutional requirement of the two-third of the votes cast in all states and the FCT.

“This is a clear vote confidence in Mr President and his ability to deliver on promises made to the electorate, be it the economy, unflinching fight against graft and security, among others.”
