Mr Sadiq Ibrahim who is the chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria, Bauchi state chapter has now urged its members to vacate the 17 southern states, where governors have decided to ban open grazing.
He pointed out that the Fulani’s are heading for secession. He was quoted saying, “the rulers are no longer interested in the people. If some people are banned from open grazing, there is nothing more. Fulani people should move out from there. It is very simple.
“Must we transport the cattle there? I have said it before. We have an option of breeding our cattle here in the North. We are peace lovers. Let them come all the way and buy from us. It is some people’s fault”.
He viciously pointed out that acts of criminality, armed robbery and kidnapping emanated from the South.
He went further to say that the Federal Government has failed as it can not protect the constitution of the nation which has now led to everyone taking laws into his hands.
Sadiq charged southern governors to face criminal groups in the South and leave Fulani herders alone.
He said: “The President is there as a figurehead. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He is not controlling anybody. In our country now, everyone does what he feels like. The country is already moving apart”.
Sadiq said the solution to Nigeria’s security challenge is for the President to step aside or for Nigerians to put heads together and elect a credible leader come 2023.
