The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), says it has a cordial relationship with
governments and people of the South East Zone of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu
and Imo States.
AIh. Gidado Sidikki, Chairman of
the Cattle Breeders in the zone, made the disclosure in Awka on Tuesday while
reacting to malicious publication in a Social Media platform entitled, ‘South
East Will Boil any Moment from now Because of their Stubbornness.’
Sidikki, in a statement,
condemned rumours as published in some sections of the media that there was
looming crisis between his members and the people of the geopolitical zone.
He said such information which
was founded on falsehood was capable of fracturing the existing peace between
his members and the people, urging that the report should be discountenanced.
“Once again duty calls you to
rise and save our society from the pains of misinformation consequent upon the
permissiveness of the social media.
“Few days ago, we woke up to a
malicious publication in a Social Media platform, purporting a phantom
statement in Abuja entitled “South East Will Boil any Moment from now Because
of their Stubbornness” ascribed to the leadership of MACBAN and erroneously assigned
to me.
“It is my wish to inform the
public that MACBAN did not make any statement to the effect of the content of
the publication either in Abuja or anywhere for that matter.
“I humbly will wish to correctly
place my designation as the Chairman of South East Zone of the Association and
not ‘the leader of cattle breeders in Nigeria’ as I was addressed in the
primary falsehood the publication sought to disseminate.
“It is, therefore, my intention,
while dispelling the published rumour from the pit of malicious mischief, to
share my upbeat spirit with all of us that the sincere and committed
understanding we all propagate today will yield us minimal rancour if not
rancour free society tomorrow,” he said.
Sidikki, also pledged the
continued commitment and cooperation of MACBAN towards strengthening the
cordial relationship and peace with the people of the South East.
He said though the relationship
had not been devoid of flashes of crisis which were amicably resolved, he
assured that there had been constant orientation and reorientation of his
members on how they should relate with their hosts.
“I wish to put it on record that
the South East Zone of MACBAN and her cattle herder members whom I serve as the
Zonal Chairman enjoy warm relationship with the governors, governments and
people of South East Nigeria.
“I wish to state that this warmth
has not been completely devoid of flashes of momentary conflicts at few
locations, such instances were however, promptly addressed by the authorities
and warm communality restored amongst the people.
“Given the increasing orientation
and reorientation of our people and the locals who are our landlords here, and
given the strong commitment of the state governors to peaceful relationship
across board, there is no doubt that the relationship between us can only be
increasingly better.
“I wish to thank the governors of
the South East States of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo for their
wonderful sense of accommodation, as I pledge our continued efforts towards greater
harmonious environment for thriving economic activities and better life,” he
said.
