Arewa Consultative Forum Lifts Suspension of National Chairman Mamman

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has lifted the suspension of its National Chairman, Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman (SAN), effective immediately.

The decision was announced on Wednesday, December 4, through a statement by the secretary-general of the forum, Malam Murtala Aliyu.

According to Aliyu, the ACF Unity, Peace and Reconciliation Committee, led by Dr Mahmud Yayale Ahmed, CFR, Ajiyan Katagum, intervened in the recent leadership crisis in ACF. The committee invited stakeholders, including the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and that of the National Executive Council, for a family discussion on the matter.

The statement said, “That 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 had invited some stakeholders, including the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and that of the National Executive Council, among others, and has had a family discussion on the unfortunate development.

“Consequently, the issue has been amicably resolved in the interest of the great people of Arewa, and the suspension is hereby withdrawn.”
