A leadership crisis is brewing in the Arewa Development Support Initiative, ADSI, over the membership of the Board of Trustees.
It was gathered that the matter got to a head when a BoT member of ADSI left unceremoniously in 2020 and returned to the association.
Consequently, the returning BoT member accused the Founder and President of ADSI, Khuraira Musa, of conspiring with the top officials of the CAC to alter her name without following due process.
Denying the allegation through a statement on Tuesday, Ms Musa described the allegation as untrue and uncharitable.
Ms Musa said: “Ordinarily, I should not have responded to this shallow and sham publication because its paymasters are not so honourable to deserve my attention. But to put the record straight, I want to state my position.
“In 2020, some members of the BoT left the organization unceremoniously.
“We, therefore, unanimously agreed that these members be removed from the register of the organization in the Corporate Affairs Commission during our Face-to-face meeting in 2020 in Kaduna.
“We discussed it on our WhatsApp chats later in 2021, which is our medium of communication, and finally got to it in 2023 because we needed to get our paperwork in order.
“The changes were effected officially. So, I believe that the sponsors of the publication are economical with the truth.
“I never forged dates and signatures of any trustee, neither did I alter the constitution of ADSI to my favour.
“Whatever was done was to protect the organization and its members. I don’t think I will birth an idea and also destroy it.”
