Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, has reacted to comment by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, that
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, is like Afenifere
and Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo socio-cultural groups and thus should not be
criminalised.
Shehu also defended the meeting
between the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu and the leadership of
the Miyetti Allah.
“It is a mistake to say the
Nigerian government is talking to bandits”, he said.
“The Miyetti Allah group is like
Ohanaeze and Afenifere. It is a socio-cultural group. There are criminals
within the Yoruba race and you cannot say because of that, Afenifere is a group
of criminals.”
Reacting, Fani-Kayode lambasted
Shehu for the comparison.
“No they are not. They are an
association of butchers of cows and men. They are the purveyors of violence,
the custodians of falsehood and the repositories of evil. They are as
perfidious as they are dangerous!
“They are an umbrella
organisation of dark, callous, bloodthirsty and merciless men that seek to
legitimise, shield and protect the Fulani herdsmen, the fourth most deadly
terrorist organisation in the world.
“Comparing them to Afenifere or
Ohaneze is like comparing the Church of Satan and the Cosa Nostra to the
Vatican and the Anglican Communion”.
