Northern votes wasted on Buhari – Coalition

The Coalition of Northern Groups on Tuesday, said the persistent killings in northern Nigeria was an indication that northern votes were wasted in electing President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019.

The coalition stated that the latest massacre of innocent farmers in a single attack in Borno State showed that northerners made a mistake in putting up a solid, united front for President Buhari in spite of ethno-religious differences.
