THE Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has suspended its National Chairman, Mamman Mike Osuman, over an unauthorised statement on the 2027 elections.
The Chairman of ACF Board Trustees (BoT), Bashir Muhammad Dalhatu, and National Secretary, Murtala Aliyu, announced his suspension in a statement on Thursday.
Osuman was quoted as saying that the North will back a Northern candidate for the presidency come 2027.
The statement noted that “Our attention has been drawn to widely reported statements credited to Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman, SAN, OFR, Chairman, ACF National Executive Committee (NEC), which were made during the meeting of the NEC, held on Wednesday, November, 2024, at ACF Headquarters, Kaduna.
“The statements were made by the NEC Chairman without consulting or discussing with other leaders and members of the ACF and thus, reflected Mr. Osuman’s personal opinion only.
“ACF rejects Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman’s statements in their entirety. For this reason, the leadership of the ACF’s Board of Trustees (BOT) and that of its NEC has decided to place Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman on suspension with immediate effect.
The statement declared, “A Committee has been constituted for further investigations.”
