Arewa 100% Focus is a sociopolitical group that is working towards the promotion and upliftment of the culture and interest of the Northern Nigerià has Commended the leadership role of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF).
In a statement release recently by the Orgànisation’s Spokes Person. Hon. Abdulhamid Dankyarko and copied the General Secretary , Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Mallam Murtala Aliyu and the National President Arewa 100% Focus, Hon. Dr. Abubakar Sadiq Sa’adu Fakai,
the Orgànisation condemned misleading information about the North Nigerià by one Mr Alwan Hassan a Party Chieftain.
”Distinguished Compatriots with utmost reverence to the sacred ideals of democracy, truth, and the eternal quest for justice and unity in our nation, we rise in solemn duty to respond with clarity, courage, and conviction to the deeply unsettling and regrettably ill-informed remarks made by Mr. Alwan Hassan, a self-styled stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during his appearance on TV station recently”
”While we uphold the right of every citizen to express opinion under the canopy of constitutional liberty, we cannot, must not, and will not remain silent in the face of misleading narratives designed to distort facts, denigrate institutions, and insult the collective intelligence of Northern Nigeria”.
”The Unity and Infrastructure: Not Opposing Realities but Complementary Pillars Mr. Hassan’s assertion that “Northern Nigeria needs unity, not infrastructure” is a tragically misguided attempt at oversimplification. It presents a false dichotomy as though we must choose between peace and progress, or harmony and highways.Unity without development is a hollow chant.
”What the North needs is not mere rhetoric, but roads that link our forgotten communities; hospitals that heal our broken bodies; schools that enlighten our future generations; and electricity that powers our industries and potentials. Infrastructure is not a political favor it is a constitutional imperative. It is the vehicle of equality and the guarantor of inclusion.
”We stand firmly with the Renewed Hope Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose developmental strides are strategically aimed at lifting every region from the ashes of neglect to the heights of transformation.
”The Fallacy of Uniformity: “One Tribe, One Religion”Even more disturbing is Mr. Hassan’s reckless proclamation that unity in the North can only be achieved through “one tribe, one religion.” This statement is not only constitutionally offensive and historically bankrupt, but also morally reprehensible.Northern Nigeria is not a monolith. It is a radiant constellation of ethnic and religious identities—Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Tiv, Nupe, Idoma, Igala, Berom, Jukun, and many more.
”Our strength has never been in forced sameness but in our collective will to live in peace despite our differences.The dream of one tribe and one religion is not unity; it is tyranny disguised as ideology. We refuse to allow such medieval thinking to roll back the wheel of progress. True unity is the celebration of diversity, not its annihilation.
” Political Representation ” A Misguided Premise Mr. Hassan’s claim that religious or tribal identity has permanently barred certain groups from leadership in states like Benue, Plateau, Borno, or Kwara is not only misleading, it is intellectually lazy and politically inflammatory.Yes, challenges persist. But they are not insurmountable. There have been substantial gains in inclusive representation across the North from cross-ethnic electoral victories to interfaith political coalitions. The process of democratic maturity is ongoing and cannot be dismissed by selective outrage.
” That Mr. Hassan would reduce these complexities to soundbites, in service of appeasing his shadowy benefactors, is regrettable. His commentary reeks not of patriotism, but of transactional loyalty a man devouring a plate of ideological porridge in exchange for thirty pieces of rhetorical silver.4. Commendation to the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF): Custodians of Northern ConscienceIn the face of such ideological bankruptcy, we turn our gaze with gratitude and admiration to the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF)—a body of rare patriots, elder statesmen and custodians of moral clarity.Their recent bold, non-partisan and unapologetic stance on the insecurity, marginalization, and infrastructural neglect facing Northern Nigeria is both timely and historic. The ACF has, once again, proven itself to be a sanctuary of reason and a fortress of regional integrity.We salute their unshakeable courage in speaking truth to power, not as antagonists, but as watchmen of a region that refuses to be buried in silence. Their commitment to the North’s survival and prosperity, unmarred by political patronage, is a model of patriotic leadership worthy of eternal honor.May history continue to remember them not just as voices of reason, but as architects of hope.”
A Call for Responsible LeadershipThe North does not need alarmists or tribal champions. It needs leaders of vision and valor—men and women who understand that roads build more peace than slogans, and that dignity flows from development, not division.We restate our unalloyed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose Renewed Hope Agenda offers a comprehensive blueprint for correcting historical imbalances, reinvigorating regional economies, and restoring confidence in government presence across the North.We therefore call on Mr. Alwan Hassan to rise above the theatrics of political ventriloquism and join the league of nation-builders—if indeed he is serious about the North’s future.
In Conclusion: Let the North Rise in Truth and UnityLet us build a North not of echo chambers, but of enlightened minds.Let us foster unity not through fear, but through fairness.Let us rise not in sameness, but in solidarity with Northern Nigeria according to the statement.
