The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has rescinded the suspension order placed on its chairman of the National Executive Council (NEC), Chief Mamman Mike Osuman, SAN, over partisan statements.
It would be recalled that Osuman was suspended a few weeks ago over the statements credited to him, where he was quoted to have said that the Forum will only support northern candidates in the 2027 general election.
A statement issued by the Forum and signed by its Secretary General, Mal. Murtala Aliyu said the issue leading to the NEC chairman’s suspension has been resolved amicably following the intervention of the ACF Unity, Peace and Reconciliation Committee.
