The Arewa Consultative Forum, (ACF),  has said its members should not endorse any political aspirant or candidate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

In a communique it issued at end of the Forum’s National Executive Council meeting in Kaduna State, signed by its  National Chairman  a former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh,  the forum said it  is not a political party that endorses candidates.

According to it, the forum is only interested in what programs the candidates have for the North.

“We should desist from endorsing any candidate for the 2023 presidency. If anybody asks you about the endorsement, tell such person that we are not a political party”, the communique read in part.

“Even for 2023, we do not know yet who the candidate is. We are not a political party. We do not participate in political activities except where it becomes necessary.

“May God help us with a good candidate. It is only the Almighty God that can solve our problems,” he added.

But the ACF plans to meet with their Southern counterparts- South-South people’s congress, Afenifere, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo with a view to dousing political tension in the country.

“We have always complained of late of the security situation in the north. We are still worried about this. The security conditions in the north are far from satisfactory. We urge the Federal and state government to embark on measures that will improve the situation”.
