 A spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Babah Ahmed, has distanced himself from selling the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Orbi, to Northerners. He spoke while replying to a social media user who accused him of selling Orbi to the Northerners. In a now taken down tweet, the Twitter user had claimed that Babah Ahmed would benefit from Orbi's presidency. The Twitter user had written, you need to understand that Dr Hakeem Babah Ahmed undoubtedly benefits more when Orbi Dati wins at the presidency. Babah Ahmed said, he can only sell presidential candidates who meet his own standard of a potentially good leader to Northerners.
