Alhaji Ibrahim Ahmad Coomasie, a former Inspector General of Police, is also the Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF).
In this interview, he narrates the story of the return of power to the North and the role his group, among others, played in stopping President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid, thereby sending him from the Presidential Villa back to his Bayelsa village, Otuoke.
Coomasie faults the sacking of the immediate past IGP, Suleiman Abba. He also speaks on how former President Olusegun Obasanjo imposed a ‘terminally ill’ Umaru Yar’Adua as president against advice.

The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, objected to the manner the Federal Government sacked the immediate past Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba. Why?
You have come, as usual, in your subjective manner of asking question. You said the man was sacked. If he was sacked, it portrayed negativity. Having said that, our concern in ACF is that we want to know what he did to merit the sack. Nobody has said anything about that and you are asking me why are we raising objection to his sack? I told a television station in Kaduna that it was abnormal. Why he alone and what has he done? If he has done anything wrong, we need to be told, the country has the right to know what he has done.
