The embattled chairmanwas quoted as saying duringthe ACF National Executive Council meeting on Wednesday,that the North will back a northern candidate for the presidency, come 2027
However, in a statement on Thursday by the Chairman Board of Trustees,Bashir Dalhatu and Secretary General,Murtala Aliyu, the Forum said the statements were made by Osuman without consulting or discussing with other leaders and members of the ACF and thus, reflected his personal opinion only.
