The leadership of Miyetti Allah
Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has finally taken a decision on
who to vote for in the 2019 presidential election.
The cattle herders have settled
for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, President Muhammadu
Buhari.
The organization endorsed Buhari
at the 5th Annual General meeting of the Association held on Thursday in Abuja.
The National President of MACBAN,
Alhaji Muhammadu Kirowa, while making the announcement, said the administration
of Buhari has impacted positively on the lives of their members.
Speaking with journalists after
the Congress, the National Secretary of MACBAN, Alhaji Baba Uthman Ngelzarma
said the decision to support President Muhammadu Buhari was a decision from the
Congress.
Uthman said their members
numbering over 20 million in Nigeria took the collective decision.
He said, “We represent over 20
million members across the country, here in attendance we have over 2000 people
who have come from all corners of the country, we have representatives from
each local governments, and you heard their view, they have declared their
interest on Muhammadu Buhari to move to the next level, this is the majority
decision of the Congress, we as leaders, we don’t have option other than to
follow.
“MACBAN frowns at the sensational
and negative stereotyping of herders who are doing a legitimate economic
activity that contributes to the gross domestic product of the country and
ensuring food security.”
Speaking further, he called on
the present government to stamp out cases of impunity in relation to the
killings of innocent citizens who are caught in the conflict.
