Fulani Leaders Dump Buhari
An umbrella association, with sole responsibility of guiding affairs of Fulani people across the country, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, said yesterday that all its leaders have been mandated to mobilise their subjects, especially in northern parts of the country, to ensure victory for President Goodluck Jonathan. National President of the association, Alhaji Bello Abdullahi Bodejo stated this weekend, in his office at Masaka in Nasarawa State.
He said the association has adopted a robust campaign strategy in such a way that it would be able to attract all Fulani pastoralist across the country to vote for President Jonathan on March 28. “No votes will miss out from the Fulani in the coming elections. They are all going to vote for the PDP”, he said.
The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hotore leader described President Jonathan as “a man of transformation, trusted and reliable person who have the Fulanis at heart all the time”. “Without Jonathan, the Fulanis would have been backward by now; he is committed to achieving the agricultural transformation agenda by 2015.
“He had also provided an enabling ground for all Fulanis by providing huge sums of money for their resettlement schemes and provision of grazing reserve for their businesses,” he added.
The Fulani leader who restated his unflinching support and commitment assured that he would continue to do everything possible to ensure victory for Jonathan. He therefore appealed to the teaming supporters of PDP to come out en-masse and vote the President. Stating the opposition of the Fulani to Buhari, Alhaji Bodejo said the former military Head of State no longer has anything to offer the country.
He stated that Jonathan had done a lot for the Fulanis, adding that “we must support him”. “If you take a good look at the ministries and parastatals in the country, you will find out that it is dominated by Fulani men as we want to pay President Jonathan back by ensuring that he is re-elected”, he said
