AREWA leaders, under the aegis of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), have blamed Nigeria’s woes to the present crops of leaders. ACF noted that the first republic leaders laid a solid foundation the nation’s development and growth, but regretted that the crops of leaders after them plunged Nigeria into the present woes. In a statement issued by the National Publicity of ACF, Alhaji Mohammad Ibrahim Biu on Sunday, “The journey over the years, considering our diversity and complexity, has been full of challenges in the areas of national security, peaceful coexistence, political and economic development.”“Our founding fathers laid a good foundation for a prosperous Nigeria. The current challenges are part of the processes of nation-building should not be allowed to test our collective will and resolve.”“Rather, they require the cooperation and support of all Nigerians in order to pave the way for a united, peaceful and prosperous nation. It is only through fair and just process of elections that our democracy will continue to grow and develop like other developed nations.
