Arewa Consultative Forum Critiques Nigeria's Political Standards

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), through its Publicity Secretary, Professor Tukur Mohammed Baba, asserted that Nigeria's political landscape is devoid of standards because citizens do not demand accountability. During an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Baba highlighted that the governance in Nigeria over the last four years has adversely affected citizens, despite any positive micro statistics.

He criticized the flexibility of politics and laws in Nigeria, noting that institutions, including the judiciary, are not functioning properly. Baba pointed out that many individuals have entered politics with fake credentials, reflecting the nature of the political environment.

He remarked that the Nigerian electorate is not a homogenous group but is divided into sections, with the average citizen primarily concerned about the tangible effects of governance on their daily lives, such as welfare, health, education, housing, and transportation, rather than the qualifications of those in power.
