Concerned Fulani leaders have expressed
disagreement with the recent endorsement of
President Muhammadu Buhari by the Miyetti Allah
Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN.
The leaders said the laws guiding the affairs of
the association do not allow it to dabble into
partisan politics.
Chairman of the concerned Fulani leaders, Alhaji
Walid Jibrin, at a press conference in Kaduna on
Tuesday, said neither the executives nor the
national chairman of the MACBAN can take a
major decision without consulting and seeking the
consent of members of the Board of Trustees and
patrons of the association.
He said, “Such decision taken recently by the
association without the knowledge of the BOT and
patrons and majority of registered members is
anarchy and disrespect and amounts to dragging
our paramount ruler into politics.”
Jibrin who doubles as the Sarkin Fulan in Dangi
Nasarawa, pointed out that the Miyetti Allah
owes the Sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Kano, Emir of
Katsina, Emir of Zazzau and Lamido of Adamawa
apologies for being ignorant of the rules guiding
the association and for not running the MACBAN
for the full benefit of members.
The Sarkin Yakin Dangawa Yaan Tumaki of
Katsina, also disclosed that concerned Fulani
groups and Ardos and members of MACBAN who
are not in support of the Miyeti Allah’s decision
would soon meet to counter the stand.
“I want Nigerians to know that we have over 25
Fulani associations in Nigeria that are fully
registered and over 500 categories of Fulani race
living in Nigeria with even some who are unable
to speak Fulfulde due to the general global
changes like the current global climate change
affecting the world,” he said.
Jibrin said representatives of these groups will
attend the forthcoming Fulani conference and “will
tell the world their stand in the forthcoming
election by choosing their presidential choice who
is ready to satisfy the demand of the Fulani and
who will settle the feud of farmer-communities
with herdsmen.”
He said: “I, therefore, call on the Fulani never to
be deceived again by anybody no matter how
highly placed. Fulani must talk with one voice
among our over 6,000 voters in Nigeria. I call on
Miyetti Allah not to further add fuel to the fire.”
He said associations “should rather be fighting for
Fulani who have no land for rearing, no water
ponds, no functional nomadic schools, no cattle
path which are now blocked and should pave way
for Fulani to live peacefully with all tribes in
Nigeria.”
