http://www.newsportng.com.ng Northern Group, the Arewa Concerned Citizens Forum, (ACCF) has backed the call for peace across the country by Chief of Defence Staff, (CDS) General Christopher Musa Gwabin.

Expressing its unwavering support for the CDS’ recent comments on national and international television, for peace ACCF stressed that they share same concern with General Gwabin on the potential consequences of protest which could lead to trouble and thereafter cause unrest in the country.
The statement reads, “General Gwabin’s wise words of caution and call for collective effort to support a system that works resonate deeply with our organization’s values and mission.
“We share General Gwabin’s concern about the potential consequences of protest, which could lead to trouble and crisis. Instead, we advocate for peaceful and constructive engagement to address the country’s challenges. We believe that Nigerians should work together to find solutions, rather than resorting to protest, which can be manipulated by external forces and political opponents seeking to undermine the nation’s progress.
“We applauds General Gwabin’s appeal to Nigerian youths to reject the narrative of protest and his emphasis on the need for collective effort to support a system that works. We also share his concern about the manipulation of innocent youths by those who seek to exploit them for their own interests.
“We urge all Nigerians to heed General Gwabin’s wise words and give peace a chance. Let us work together to build a brighter future for our nation, rather than resorting to destructive and counterproductive protests. The ACCF stands solidly behind General Gwabin and his call for peace and collective effort.”
