The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has urged the Federal Government to halt its political focus on the 2027 elections and address the escalating insecurity plaguing Nigeria. In a statement, the forum's National Publicity Secretary, Prof. T. A. Muhammad-Baba, stated that the government's apparent indifference to the security crisis has allowed armed non-state actors to thrive and wreak havoc on communities.
The ACF expressed grave concern over the continued abduction of citizens, particularly children, held by terrorists in Borno, Kwara, and other states. Recent attacks in Zamfara State, Plateau, Taraba, Benue, Niger, Katsina, and Kogi states have resulted in deaths, abductions, and property looting. The forum also criticized the growing preoccupation of politicians with the 2027 elections, emphasizing that governance and citizen protection should take precedence.
The ACF urged the government to redirect its attention towards tackling insecurity, warning that each new incident of violence should be treated as one too many.
