Tension at the premises of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) in Kaduna as some Northerners, under the aegis of Muhammadu Buhari Legacy Implementation Initiatives, told the ACF that they must ensure that the North and President Muhammadu Buhari retained the presidency in 2019.
But ACF, the apex Northern socio-cultural group, advised the pro-Buhari group which came on a courtesy visit to take their campaigns elsewhere because “ACF is not a partisan group”.
Chairman, Muhammadu Buhari Legacy Implementation Initiatives, Ado Mohammed, said: “After Muhammadu Buhari was elected President in 2015, we decided that we should go round the whole country to implement Buhari’s legacies, assisting him from outside the government.
But a visibly angry ACF’s Vice Chairman, Senator Abubakar Girei, said: “I don’t agree with you that by next election, North does not need any other person. I suggest that you reconsider your position.”
He also lectured the group, saying: “You don’t need to tell us about Buhari’s honesty because we know that was why Nigerians voted for him. What you can do now is to bring out the legacies or achievements of Buhari which Nigerians don’t know, so that the people can appreciate him and his kind of character.”
