Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has pleaded with
Fulani herders not to carry AK-47 riffles but remain peaceful.
The governor, who made the plea in his speech at the launch
of the 2020/2021 annual livestock vaccination campaign held at the Galambi
Cattle Ranch, Bauchi, on Wednesday, described the Fulani people as humble,
simple, and humane.
He said, “What I will do, I will not say it here, but I will
do everything possible to make sure I protect you and lend support to you
because I know you mean well.
“Through time and history, you have been seen to be cajoled,
and lampooned but you remained humane, you remained simple, you don’t show so
much aggression and of course, that humility is always what we recognized and
this is what a character that should always try to show.
“Please, don’t carry the AK-47 that I made a figurative
allusion to. Try to make sure that you remain peaceful.”
The governor said that he has no apology for kicking against
the profiling of Fulani herders as criminals.
He said that his administration is aware of the activities
of Miyetti Allah and other Fulani organisations in promoting peaceful
coexistence in the state, promoting the well-being of the pastoralists, wealth
creation, and conflict mediation especially the state and the nation in
general.
