Real reason ACF suspended Osuman
Recall that Osuman was suspended over statements he allegedly made that were criticised by some of the BoT and NEC members as deviating from the organisation’s non-partisanship.
Osuman was accused of making unauthorised remarks suggesting that the North would back a northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.
