Northern Elders Council Lambastes ACF For Criticizing Jonathan by OKDnigeria: 10:49am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Members of the Northern Elders Council, which is sympathetic to the second term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan have blasted the members of the Arewa Consultative Forum for criticizing the President over the security situation in the country. The group, which is being led by Alhaji Tanko Yakasai said at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, that it was wrong for the ACF, which is chaired by a former Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Ibrahim Coomasie to always criticise the Federal Government. Yakasai, who spoke on behalf of the group, alleged that the ACF had been taken over by those he described as desperate opposition politicians. He said there had been a change in the activities of the ACF since Coomasie became its chairman. Yakasai said, “We wish to observe that since the emergence of the current leadership of the ACF, there has been a derailment and non-compliance with the mission of the founding fathers of the forum. “A motley crowd of opposition politicians have hijacked its machinery. It is becoming more and more isolationist even within the region. “This has greatly degraded the ACF.” Asked if he was speaking on behalf of the majority of the northern region, he said no, adding that he was only speaking on behalf members of the NEC. He said members of his group regretted the “way and manner the ACF chairman addressed the President in his rodent press conference. “To say that ‘President Jonathan doesn’t like the north’ is outrageous and uncharitable. And to say that he has failed, is untrue.” He said this statement has confirmed the allegation that the ACF leadership has derailed from the original aim of those he said established the forum. He said Coomasie has also confirmed the allegations of partisanship and the claim that the ACF was hob-knobbing with opposition elements and unrepentant critics of the Jonathan administration. www.punchng.com/news/northern-elders-council-blasts-acf-over-attacks-on-jonathan/ 2 Likes |

Like This is News? To all those that are not aware. Tanko Yakassi was the Special Adviser to exPresident Shehu Shagari that ran a corrupt and fraudulent government. He has been a STRONG ALLY of Jonathan since 2010. He even fights Jonathan's fight on his behalf but He is a Political Nonentity in Northern Politics. See.... 1. He Opposed The Government of National Unity Call by Jonathan in 2011 There’s no need for govt of national unity now - Yakasai 2. He Blasted Obasanjo when Obasanjo blasted Jonathan and endorsed Lamido Tanko Yakasai Blasts Obasanjo Over Comments Against Jonathan He is a buttlicker of the administration 1 Like |
