The Fulani socio-cultural
association, Miyetti Allah Kautal-Hore, has said it’s not endorsing any
presidential candidate because none of them have unveiled any agenda for
herdsmen.
The group’s National President,
Alhaji Bello Badejo spoke during a visit to the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu
Tambuwal, on Tuesday, News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports.
He lamented that while the
Federal Government has many intervention packages for farmers, including soft
loans and distribution of fertilisers, nothing was done for the cattle herders.
According to Badejo, “Endorsing
any candidate is a very difficult position for the association to make because
President Muhammadu Buhari is Fulani and his main rival, Atiku Abubakar is also
Fulani.
“What we want is just a solution
to national problems, so that peace reigns.”
Badejo reiterated that the false
propaganda against the Fulanis won’t address the crisis between farmers and
herdsmen.
He stated that the association
was always ready to be part of genuine efforts to end the recurring clashes.
