Disturbed by the continued mention of Fulani herders in
killings across the country, a socio-cultural organisation, the Fulbe United
for Peace (FUP), has vowed to deploy traditional means to fight criminals
masquerading as Fulani.
In a communiqué issued after a national leadership
consultative meeting convened by FUP with the support of Arewa New Agenda (ANA)
held on Sunday in Abuja, leaders of the group from across the 36 states and the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said this was part of their determination to
make a significant contribution to national development.
The group, according to the communiqué signed by its
national president, Ardo Aliyu Liman Bobboi, “agreed to develop strategies to
bring all Fulbe together by using a traditional approach that is deeply rooted
in the Fulbe tradition and culture—Hombudu—to bring an end to any form of
criminality in the name of Fulbe.”
Other agreements contained in the communiqué are:
“Developing a strategic network with relevant authorities for Fulbe youth nationwide;
seeking a local workable solution from within; and reaching out to other
interest groups to promote national forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing of
the wounds that have been inflicted on our great country, Nigeria.”
While pointing out that Fulbe is in a position as an ethnic
and socio-cultural association to make the most effective contribution to
national development, the communiqué asked the government to consult with
Ardo’s leadership on issues of policy that concern the group.
It further pointed out that the Fulbe consciously and
strategically mobilised nationwide and supported President Bola Tinubu in the
2023 presidential election.
To this end, it declared its support for all the concerted
efforts to bring peace and security to the country by the incumbent government
led by President Tnubu and other stakeholders across the country.
