The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and top officials of the federal government to channel their energy towards governance instead of politicking in respect of the President’s re-election bid.
The advice is contained in a statement ACF National Publicity Secretary, Professor Tukur Muhammad-Baba released, in which the northern group also offered their felicitation to the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
“As we observed a year ago, the existential challenges above are symptomatic of a fundamental malaise in the political economy, calling for urgent public policy attention.
“Disappointingly, it would seem to be the case that the ruling party at the centre is more obsessed with unprecedented early campaigns, defections to it, and other manoeuvres for re-election in 2027, amidst putative celebrations of mid-term policy successes,” the statement read in part.
