Polls - 'Buhari's Loss, Lesson for the North'

Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State Wednesday declared that  the outcome of the presidential election was a lesson for the North, adding that the North has no choice than to negotiate back into the mainstream.

Said he:  “as Northern states, we have to negotiate ourselves back to the mainstream; that is what we have to do if we must reclaim our position in this nation. We must ensure that anybody who wants to discriminate on religion or sow the seed of discord fails”.
