The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has started conversations with all gubernatorial candidates for 2023 elections in Kano to reduce the already rising tensions.
The meeting which started on Sunday is to remind the candidates that peace conquers all.
According to the Forum's Co-Chair, Professor Kamilu Sani Fagge, they are worried by recent political events in Kano.
"As elders who are shouldered whether we like or not with the responsibilities of ensuring peace, we cannot fold our arms and allow the unfortunate happenings in the political circle in Kano," he revealed.
Fagge hinted that they are bringing in the gubernatorial candidates to commit them to peaceful resolutions of conduct devoid of rancour and violence.
Also speaking, the NNPP deputy gubernatorial running mate, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam, said they never rejected signing a peace accord, but they laid down some requests that authorities must take proactive measures against anybody violating the rules.
“We cannot sign any peace accord when clearly some people are allowed to misbehave and continue to cause tension among Kano citizens, we can only commit ourselves where we see things are done rightly without prejudice to the laws,” he said.
The Kano political atmosphere is getting heated as the NNPP and ruling APC seem to be at loggerheads.
Just recently, the State Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Abbas was on tape saying he would not stop and that they (APC) must win the 2023 elections by hook or crook.
