The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has officially lifted the suspension of its National Chairman, Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman (SAN).
This decision, effective immediately, was announced in a statement released on Wednesday, December 4, by the forum’s Secretary-General, Malam Murtala Aliyu.
The move followed the intervention of the ACF Unity, Peace, and Reconciliation Committee, chaired by Dr. Mahmud Yayale Ahmed, CFR, Ajiyan Katagum.
The committee engaged key stakeholders, including the Chairmen of the Board of Trustees and the National Executive Council, in a dialogue aimed at addressing the leadership crisis within the forum.
The statement read: “The ACF Unity, Peace, and Reconciliation Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Mahmud Yayale Ahmed, CFR, Ajiyan Katagum, has intervened in the recent leadership crisis in ACF. It invited several stakeholders, including the Chairmen of the Board of Trustees and the National Executive Council, for a family discussion on the unfortunate development.
“Consequently, the matter has been amicably resolved in the interest of the great people of Arewa, and the suspension is hereby withdrawn.”
Recall that AFRIPOST had reported that Osuman was suspended following allegations of making unauthorized comments suggesting that the North would support a northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections, thereby sidelining President Bola Tinubu.
