ACF Urges Peaceful Voting Ahead of 2027 Elections

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), a prominent northern socio-cultural organization, issued a warning to politicians and youths to reject violence and provocation as Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections. This statement was made by ACF's chairman, Mamman Mike Osuman (SAN), during Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary.

Osuman stressed that political differences should not lead to hatred or violence, asserting that no election is worth the loss of life. The ACF encouraged eligible Nigerians with Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) to fulfill their civic duty by voting for their preferred candidates and parties in the upcoming general elections.

The organization highlighted the potential tensions surrounding election periods and urged citizens, especially the youth, to exercise restraint and avoid known trouble-prone areas. Furthermore, ACF emphasized that voting should be based on personal judgment and analysis rather than mere adherence to political party directives, advocating for responsible and peaceful voting practices.
