THE AREWA CONSULTATIVE FORUM HAS RUN OUT OF TIME AND IDEAS

The Secretary General of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Mr Anthony Sani has claimed that if the restructuring was in the manifesto of the All Progressives Congress, President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would have shown genuine interest in the agitation for it.
Since freedom of speech connotes all sorts of fulminations and extremes, (including hate speeches), we must learn to cope with this one.
The one problem is the issue of if Sani can presume to make any statement on behalf of the APC. He obviously cannot, even if the position of the APC and ACF were to strangely fall into alignment.
The ACF is now in the last throes of its imminent death. Whether Nigeria restructures or not, the primordial stranglehold by the ACF of unwilling elements in the socalled North held together by a contrived fear of the South, has loosened for good. We can never go back to the "good" old days. This latest claim of group and institutional amnesia is a hopeless alibi. Nobody is fooled.
