Change Imminent To Revive Ailing Leadership In Northern Nigeria – ACF
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Bashir Muhammad Dalhatu, has issued an apology to the people of Northern Nigeria, acknowledging the collective failure of the region’s leaders to shield the North from descending into one of the most severe crises in its history.
Dalhatu also highlighted that the ACF is actively exploring strategies to address the existential challenges facing both the North and Nigeria as a whole. He affirmed that the North is open to considering constitutional review and administrative reforms.
During a meeting of the BoT and Northern Leaders in Kaduna, Dalhatu dispelled the notion that the North is opposed to constitutional changes.
“We must put all and sundry on notice that the North is ready, now and in the future, and will be willing to consider any proposals for changing the constitution as well as the administrative structure of Nigeria,” he stated.
