Northern leaders lift suspension on ACF Chairman, Osuman

Northern leaders, under the umbrella of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), have reinstated the suspended Chairman of the Forum, Mamman Mike Osuman.

The suspension of the Chairman by the leadership of ACF was earlier carried out over an alleged unauthorised political statement, not in consonance with ACF’s non-partisan position.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Secretary-General of ACF, Alhaji Murtala Aliyu, it was pointed out that “the ACF Unity, Peace, and Reconciliation Committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. Mahmoud Yayale Ahmed (Ajiyan Katagum), has intervened in the recent crisis.”

He said, “It had invited some stakeholders, including the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and that of the National Executive Council, among others, and had a family discussion on the unfortunate development.”

“Consequently, the issue has been amicably resolved in the interest of the great people of Arewa, and the suspension is hereby withdrawn,” the statement added.
