In a statement, the National Secretary MACBAN, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, said the association will support any candidate that shows commitment to end the suffering of its members after the conclusion of party primaries.



The statement reads: “The attention of MACBAN has been drawn to a trending story in which we are being quoted as having purchased a presidential nomination form for former President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2023 elections.


“We wish to make it clear that MACBAN did not and will not buy any form for any Candidate contesting elections.


“MACBAN does not see any gain in this kind of profligate enterprise that adds no value to the millions of our members, who are wallowing in poverty as a result of banditry, cattle rustling and the dastardly activities of self-appointed vigilantes, who for all intent and purpose are committed to executing genocide.


“We believe politics should be left to politicians, we see no mileage in supporting any politician when we are overwhelmed by the crisis being faced by our members nationwide."
