The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has announced the suspension of Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman, SAN, OFR, as Chairman of its National Executive Committee (NEC) following unauthorized remarks attributed to him.
In a press release issued on Thursday, the ACF expressed disapproval of comments made by Mr. Osuman during a NEC meeting held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at the ACF headquarters in Kaduna. The statements in question reportedly indicated that the North would support a northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.
The ACF clarified that these remarks were made without consultation or agreement from other leaders and members of the forum, emphasizing that they represent Mr. Osuman’s personal opinion rather than the collective stance of the ACF.
“The ACF rejects Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman’s statements in their entirety,” the release stated. Consequently, the leadership of the ACF’s Board of Trustees (BOT) and the NEC decided to suspend Mr. Osuman with immediate effect.
Additionally, a committee has been established to investigate the matter further.
The press release was signed by Alhaji Bashir Muhammad Dalhatu, Chairman of the ACF Board of Trustees, and Alhaji Murtala Aliyu Wazirin Dutse Matawallen Gombe, the forum’s Secretary General.
The ACF remains committed to maintaining unity and representing the collective interests of the North in national discourse.
