The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria
(MACBAN) on Tuesday, dissociated itself from a Fulani group that purchased
nomination form for the immediate past President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Some members of the Miyetti Allah
Cattle Rearers’ Association purchased the 2023 presidential form for Jonathan.
However, MACBAN while reacting, in a statement by Abdulbasid
Bonga, the Protem National Secretary of Concerned Registered Members of Miyetti
Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), said they were not a
party to the charade.
According to the statement, the Fulani group led by one
Ibrahim Abdullahi from Kaduna is not a member of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’
Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), neither is he a member of Miyetti Allah Kautal
Hore Fulani Socio-Cultural Association.
According to the group, Abdullahi is a factional National
Secretary of Gan Allah Fulani Development Association (GAFDAN).
According to him, he did this on his own, not under the
Fulani communities or Association.
“We the entire registered members and officials of Fulani
Association, including all the stakeholders dissociate ourselves from this
move,” he added.
The group pointed out that although they don’t have anything
against Jonathan, but it is not their collective decision to endorse or
purchase any nomination forms for “aspirants” in Nigeria.
According to him, they were only after the unity,
integration and harmony between the Fulani communities and the farming
communities, while expecting the security agencies to deal with bandits and
criminals.
The group appealed to its members across the country to
remain law abiding and not to allow themselves to be used as agents of crisis.
