Northern leaders dumped Tinubu? ACF leader suspended

  • The claim that President Bola Tinubu would not get the northern support in the 2027 presidential election, may not be standing as it was earlier envisaged
  • This is as the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) suspended Mamman Mike Osuman, its national executive council chairman, who opted for Northerner in the 2027 presidential election
  • Osuman had earlier claimed that the North would consider a Northern presidency in the 2027 election, adding that Tinubu’s economic policies have badly affected the region

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has suspended its National Executive Council chairman, Mamman Mike Osuman, just 24 hours after he publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration and revealed the group’s preferred candidate for the 2027 elections.

Osuman’s comments, made without consulting other ACF leaders and members, sparked controversy, particularly his statement that the North would back a northern presidential candidate in 2027.
