Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central on Monday asked the Arewa Consultative Forum not to support the Buhari-led administration blindly.

He said this while receiving  the executive members of the Kaduna State chapter of ACF, led by its chairman, Ramalan Yero.

“ACF should not be like the people of Niger Delta who will support whatever decisions taken by their leaders because they are their own,” Mr. Sani said.

“ACF should support the government where it is right and should also talk where the government goes wrong. What remains for us as northerners is, we must tell ourselves the truth.”

He urged the forum to monitor government policies and projects in the region and speak against any which would not benefit the masses.

“It is mandatory for associations like the ACF, to call us as the elected leaders of our people to know what has been earmarked for the education, agriculture, industries etc. for the benefit of northerners.

“As at now, all the legacies left behind by the late Sardauna of Sokoto are either in comatose, or they are all dead entirely.

“For the north to progress one, education, must be revived so that the sons and daughters of the masses can obtain sound and qualitative education. Our ailing industries must be revived. Peasant farmers must be given subsidy,” he said.
