The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has cautioned against election rigging and use of thugs during the forthcoming general elections.

Speaking on Wednesday at the National Executive Council meeting of the ACF in Kaduna, Chairman of the Forum, Chief Audu Ogbeh said the election is of great concern to ACF and prayed that Nigerians would elect leaders of their choice in 2023.

While commending the Federal Government and security agencies for the feat achieved in the last 6 months over insecurity, the ACF Chairman however observed that the government was not fast enough in curtailing terrorism.

He said there was tremendous improvement on the part of the security agencies in the last six months in curtailing the activities of criminals, and called for the total elimination of banditry and other terrorism acts.

He expressed displeasure on the havoc caused by flood across the country and appealed to government to take steps towards curtailing it.
