It noted that the President’s determination to recover stolen fund was not in doubt, judging from the international support the initiative had received so far.
According to the ACF, the steps so far taken by the President was in the right direction.
The Forum believe Buhari’s move to recover lotted funds would not only sanitise the system but instill discipline in the conduct of public officers in the country.
ACF’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammadu Ibrahim, in a communique after a meeting of its Board of Trustees in Kaduna, said,”That the steps taken by the Federal Government to investigate, prosecute perpetrators and repatriate stolen public are not only appropriate and timely but will also sanitise the system and revive prudence and discipline in the conduct of public officers.”
Besides, the Northern body also lambasted the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra for its frequent call for the disintegration of Nigeria after 55 years of independence.
The Forum said it was particularly unhappy with the activities of MASSOB and other ethnic agitators and cautioned them against overheating the nation’s body polity.
The Forum also warned against what its described as unguarded utterances of some elder statesmen, which it contended were capable of causing disaffection among Nigerians.
According to the ACF, it is becoming increasingly embarrassing that some elder statesmen in some quarters are making unguarded utterances that could throw the country into chaos.
ACF added, “It was particularly unhappy with the activities of MASSOB and other ethnic agitators who are fond of calling for the disintegration of the country after 55 years of independence.
“ACF reaffirmed its belief in one Nigeria and the need for all hands to be on deck to move the nation forward.”
Meanwhile, the ACF has lauded what it described as the gallantry of the Nigerian military in its fight against Boko Haram.
