Newsonline reports that Northern Elders Forum said it is regrettable that President Buhari does not care who runs the country in a mess as the economy of the country moves from bad to worse.

Northern Elders said it was displeasing that Labour and Employment Minister, Chris Ngige, is mismanaging the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU crisis which has led the strike to prolonge to four months without any foreseeable resolution.

Northern Elders stated that while the university education is shut down as a result of Buhari and Ngige’s lapses, the Ngige is chasing presidential ambition.

Newsonline had reported that the son of Hakeem Ahmed, until the time of filing this report, was among the victims of the train attack, along Kaduna- Abuja route.

 

Northern Elders stated that was so displeasing is the attitude of President Buhari who shows no care about who runs the country’s economy into a mess.

 

On his Twitter handle, theNational  Convener of Nothern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Ahmed Baba said: “Ngige was going to leave the ASUU strike and students at home to run for the Presidency of Nigeria.
“Rotimi Amaechi left a stalled train service and passengers with kidnappers to ask us to make him President of Nigeria. President Buhari does not care who runs a country in a mess.”
