LAGOS—The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has called on Nigerians not to divert attention to the issues raised by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in his 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan so as not to lose focus on the matter.

National Publicity Secretary of ACF, Mr Anthony Sani, who made this known in an interview with Vanguard Tuesday, said that diverting attention from the issues raised by Obasanjo, could generate more heat than light in the polity, hence the need for decorum and patriotism over the issues.

Sani was reacting to the call for the impeachment of Jonathan by the opposition All Progressive Congress, APC, based on the issues raised by Obasanjo.

His words: “I have already reacted to the media that even though one of the issues in the letter borders on security, most of the issues raised were common place knowledge.

“More so, that the issues are still at the level of allegations. In any case, there are due procedure for impeachment of a president that are well known to the legislature whose job includes the task of impeachment.

“But, I would not be tired of calling on the presidency, the media and public spirited platforms and the opposition to concentrate their debates on the issues raised with serious sense of decorum and patriotism, lest it generates more heat than light in the polity which may be unhelpful. Let them stick to what they know for public good.”
