The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) is a Nigerian quasi-political and socio-cultural association which seeks to promote the political interest of people of northern Nigeria.
The purpose was to establish unity of Northern leaders, working through elected officials to achieve progress in the Arewa area within the democratic framework.
[4] Belying its common image as a champion of the interest of the Muslims Hausa and Fulani, the ACF appointed Sunday Awoniyi, a Christian Yoruba from the northern state of Kogi, as chairman of the board of trustees in 2000, a position he held until his death in November 2007.
[6] In December 2003, the new ACF chairman, Chief Sunday Awoniyi, said the forum would try to persuade Buhari, Babangida and Vice President Atiku Abubakar to resolve their differences for the sake of greater unity of northern leaders.
