Femi Fani-Kayode, a former
Aviation Minister, has reacted to the statement by the Presidency that “Miyetti
Allah should be respected”.
Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, in a statement in Abuja on Friday, stated that “Miyetti Allah should
be respected”.
Shehu was reacting to comments
credited to Ohaneze Ndigbo and Afenifere, who expressed concern about the
meeting between the government and Miyetti Allah.
He said: “We are pleased that
Afenifere and Ohaneze Ndigbo found our insights worthy of attention even when
they disagreed with our view that they, as socio-cultural associations,
represent same interests as Miyetti Allah, an association of Fulani herders.
“Miyetti Allah, like any other
trade, community, ethnic organization or interest group is a legal stake holder
in our nation and should be respected.
“We maintain that the government
needs to engage all stakeholders and seek partnership in building our country.
”The activities of Miyetti Allah
do not benefit selected ethnicities or Muslims only, but everyone.”
Reacting, Fani-Kayode said
“Miyetti Allah are worthy of our hatred, contempt, disdain and not our
respect.”
In a tweet on Saturday,
Fani-Kayode wrote: “Miyetti Allah should be respected”- Presidency.
“Miyetti Allah and their
Janjaweed ISWA Fulani herdsmen have shed more innocent blood than any other
terrorist org. in the last 4 years including Boko Haram.
“They are worthy of our hatred,
contempt and disdain and not our respect.”
