₦airaland Forum

The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has called on President Bola Tinubu to review his economic reforms to reflect greater sensitivity to the plight of Nigerians, especially those in the northern region.

According to a communiqué after its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting held in Kaduna on Wednesday, the ACF expressed displeasure at the economic policies of the present administration, saying that they had worsened the hardship an average Nigerian is facing.

While outlining the unique vulnerabilities of the northern region, the Forum noted that its people were affected by food insecurity, limited access to education and skills training, and reliance on microeconomic activities for survival.

It emphasized that while economic reforms were necessary, they should not worsen poverty or hardship among the citizens they are intended to benefit, adding that the livelihoods of many depend on micro-activities.

“The region faces acute and chronic food insecurity; its youths lack education and skills training. Daunting as these may be, they can be reversed. The time to think big is now.

“Notwithstanding the parlous state of Arewa’s glaring economic challenges, the policies of the current federal government have continued to worsen matters, with little indication of the needed sensitivity to the precarious existential conditions of Arewa people.

“Succinctly stated, economic reforms, while indeed desirable, should not impoverish the same people they are meant to serve. The people may not be alive to reap the putative benefits,” the communique said.

DAILY POST reports that the group had earlier declared that it would back a Northern candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

Edygrin:
They should wait till 2027, Tinubu will renew their subscription.

tundegan:
Tinubu is a president that listens to the people. He will calibrate as necessary.

Bobloco:
The North made Tinubu president, and the same North will remove him.

But I hope no Tinubu-paid agents or mandate standers will come screaming that they should allow the South or Tinubu to finish his eight-year tenure, or try to preach any 'southern unity' bullshit.

They will be reminded that Tinubu, with his allies, destroyed southern unity in 2015. He truncated an opportunity for the South, the South-South, and an Ijaw man to have an unbroken eight-year tenure. He will be told, in clear terms, that there is no southern unity.

When he did it in 2015, they called it politics, building bridges, and whatnot.

The truth is that karma is dealing with Tinubu and he must reap what he sowed. He sowed the wind and must reap the whirlwind.

Today, he is president and is regarded as the worst president Nigeria has ever had—a position he is contesting with no one.

Karma is dealing with Tinubu for all the atrocities he has committed against God and humanity
