The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has dismissed the National Conference, which is planned to commence next week, saying it lacks a constitutional basis or any form of legitimacy or authority to speak for the people of the North or other Nigerians.

In a declaration adopted at the end of its meeting in Kano on Tuesday, the group said the proceedings, conclusions and recommendations of the National Conference are therefore of no consequence and will not be accepted by the people of the North.
