The Northern Think Tank group has rejected the planned security conference by the Arewa Research & Development Project (ARDP).
The ARDP had through its leader, Usman Bugaje, called for more proactive measures in addressing the security situation in some parts of northern Nigeria.
To provide solutions to these challenges, Bugaje announced that the group would be organizing a conference on northern security which is scheduled to hold July 1 and 2 at the Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation conference in Kaduna.
The northern group in a press statement described the move by Bugaje and his followers as misleading.
“The conference announced by ARDP is therefore a smokescreen for achieving other objectives as the situation on ground does not call for holding talk shops for grandstanding by people that already know what the causes of the problems are. We understanding that this grandstanding is aimed at unveiling a divisive agenda as the participants of this meeting plan to claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is not serving the term of the north hence the north will be again be presenting a candidate in 2023,” it said
