The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has lashed out at Northern governors for abandoning President Muhammadu Buhari during moment of trial.
ACF, in a statement by its National President, Adamu Mahmuda, described Northern governors as “wicked, callous, selfish and insensitive,” the decision of governors from the North to abandon “Buhari in his moment of trial” for their political ambitions.
Mahmuda said instead of informing their citizens about the true situation of Buhari’s health, the governors are pursuing their political ambition of being favoured as Vice President in the event that the President does not complete his tenure.
The statement reads in part, “The northern governors who won their elections for merely identifying with Buhari have all of a sudden gone asleep not wanting to be drawn into any issue surrounding the health of the president.
“After benefiting from his campaign and support through the provision of bail outs and other handouts for them to run their states, we find it extremely uncharitable for the governors to have gone so cold when the occasion demands they should rise up and reassure citizens in their states that there is no cause for alarm and that the president is only taking a rest.
“Nobody is fooled by their ‘see no evil, hear no evil posture’ which is deliberate so as not to make them appear too supportive of the president for fear that that might make them lose out in case the president decides not to continue. But this is wicked, selfish and insensitive.”
