The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, says reports that it endorsed former Abia governor, Orji Uzor Kalu as its preferred candidate for the Senate Presidency of the 10th National Assembly is false.
The clarification was given by a member of the forum, Musa Saidu while reacting to a statement created to the leader of the Arewa Youth Conservative Forum, AYCF, Yerima Shettima, claiming that the ACF had endorsed Kalu for the position.
Saidu, also the leader of the Arewa Community in Southern Nigeria, said that the ACF would have preferred that the position be zoned to the North because of its contribution to the victory of President Bola Tinubu.
Arguing that the Northwest gave president Tinubu the highest votes, Saidu suggested that the the forum would tilt towards Abdulaziz Yari for the Senate Presidency.
