Rising from their meeting in Kaduna with the Northern Traditional Rulers Council in Kaduna State, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) today raised the alarm that the President Goodluck Jonathan-led government is gathering arms for unknown motives ahead of the 2015 elections.
NEF also accused Jonathan of nursing a clandestine agenda in choosing to convoke a national conference. Their spokesman, Solomon Darlong told the Hausa Service of the Voice of America monitored by SaharaReporters in Abuja that they support only a Sovereign National Conference whose outcome will uphold and determine the corporate existence of Nigeria.
