The Deputy Chairman of NEF, Mr. Sani Daura, said this in a statement on Saturday. The northern elders asked the Federal Government to handle the situation just as it had been tackling the crisis in the North-East. However, NEF, while distancing itself from Unongo, said its chairman did not speak on its behalf. “The forum regrets to have to publicly disown yet another controversy by Unongo in this recent time. “We, therefore, advise that if Chief Unongo has any grudges against any personality or group, he should vent them in his personal capacity and not use the platform of the forum.
