Friday, November 22, 2024 - Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman, SAN, the chairman of the the apex northern sociocultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has been suspended by the National Executive Council.
He was suspended twenty-four hours after criticising the policies of
President Bola Tinubu administration and disclosing its choice of candidates in
the next 2027 elections.
ACF held its NEC meeting on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at its
headquarters in Kaduna and suspended Osuman.
In a statement jointly signed by Alhaji Bashir Muhammad Dalhatu (Wazirin
Dutse) and Alhaji Murtala Aliyu (Matawallen Gombe), ACF Board of Trustees
chairman and Secretary General, respectively, they noted in particular, that
Mr. Osuman was quoted as saying that the North will back a northern candidate
for the presidency come 2027.
“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,” they stated.
The Forum said a committee has been constituted for further
investigations.
