2023: We’re not a political party, ACF warns members against endorsing candidates
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has warned its members against endorsing any candidate ahead of the 2023 general election.
The Forum chairman, Audu Ogbe, stated this at a meeting in Kaduna on Wednesday.
The chieftains of ACF converged in Kaduna to deliberate ahead of the 2033 elections and how to collaborate with analogous groups (Afenifere and Ohanaeze) in the Southern part of the country.
According to Audu Ogbe, their plan to have meetings with Afenifere, Ohanaeze, South-South People Congress is still on course because there is need to put a stop to “abusive words against one region or the other.
“We should desist from endorsing any candidate for the 2023 presidency. If anybody asks you about endorsement, tell such person that we are not political party.

“Even for the 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 problem.
“Our plans to have meetings with our counterpart; South South people congress, Afenifere, Ohanaeze is still in progress. Once we are done with the plans we will let you know. We need to make peace. Abusive words on social media will not help us. We don’t want chaos in this country. If we turn refugees where do we go.
“We will abandon all our property because we can not carry anything along with us other than Ghana-Must-Go bag,” he said.
