The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the voice of Northern Nigeria, has stated that the region’s socio-economic challenges and underdevelopment should be attributed to its leaders rather than President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking on Wednesday at the Forum’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, ACF Chairman Mamman Mike Osuman acknowledged that some of President Tinubu’s policies may be unpopular in the North.

However, he emphasized that the primary responsibility for the region’s plight lies with its leaders.

Osuman also addressed the formation of a new Northern group, which includes some members of the ACF.

He advised the group to focus on impactful initiatives that begin with addressing the region’s internal challenges.

The ACF Chairman said: “I do admit that some policies of the current administration are repugnant and adverse to our interests as a Region. ACF believes that certain policies and behaviors of our leaders within our Region need some critical evaluation

“It is in that vein that I raise the following questions; to what extent are our elected leaders demonstrating prudence and concern for our domestic and environmental problems, and to what extent are our Governors and legislators synergizing with our traditional leaders in combating ills that exist within our Region, to the extent that some of our sons, daughters, sisters, and brothers are sometimes criminals participate in the disputes, ills, and crimes that torment us in our region, what are we (Leaders of thought and stakeholders) doing towards arresting their evil trend and propensities.

“Have our parents, religious teachers and the elites initiated an orientation and public awareness that will educate our people on the need for self-defense and self-preservation? Illegal mining by foreigners aided by our people exists in some states. What local strategies are on the ground towards arresting this vice?

“It is not in doubt that the North is currently under siege. Our dear Region is not only being viciously attacked by bandits, terrorists and kidnappers but also by sinister devices like disproportionate considerations and inequitable treatment.
