In response to allegations that ACF played into the hands of Yahaya Bello for selfish and sectional interests, Sani reiterated that the decision was based on compliance with the concerns raised by the Kogi State chapter. He dismissed claims of polarization within ACF, citing the peaceful conduct of the General Assembly as evidence to the contrary. Sani also addressed the emergence of other regional forums and stressed that ACF remains the umbrella parent body for most northern groups.

Finally, regarding the incident in Tudun Biri, Sani acknowledged errors in past bombings by the Air Force but cautioned against giving such incidents ethnic and religious coloration. He urged a focus on improving the training of Air Force personnel and ensuring the procurement of correct equipment.
