The Arewa Joint Committee has distanced itself from the ethnic comment made by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The Joint Committee comprising of six Northern groups namely; Arewa Consultative Forum , Arewa House, Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, Northern Elders Forum , Arewa Research and Development Project , and Jamiyyar Matan Arewa hosted presidential candidates over the weekend.
Atiku made the remark while responding to a question from the spokesman of Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Dr. Hakeem Baba. He said, “Atiku should clear himself. The same question asked by the Committee was administered to other presidential candidates too. So we have no business with the opinion expressed by our guests.
