One
of the patrons of the Fulani herdsmen has threatened to resist any
attempt to make President Muhammadu Buhari dismount the horse as widely
recommended in the media.
The President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Socio-cultural
Association, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo has warned that they will resist any
attempt to remove President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Bodejo warned that Nobody should try and remove Buhari, adding that the eyes of the Fulani all over the country have 'opened'.
Speaking to The Sun, Bodejo said;
"Nobody should try to remove Buhari in 2019. All the Fulani in
Nigeria today, our eyes are open. All of us are behind Buhari; we have
seen that they want to destroy the Fulani because of Buhari.
We would not allow anybody to intimidate the Federal Government
or to take Buhari’s mandate; we would be ready to follow him and fight
it. We are ready to do anything to ensure that Buhari comes back to
complete the good work he is doing. The people criticizing him are just
few and nothing would affect his chances of coming back."
He also reacted to ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to the president criticizing his performance. Bodejo said;
"President Obasanjo is respected in the country because he
ruled Nigeria under the present democracy for eight years. As for the
letter he wrote, he knows what he is doing. You know that Obasanjo is
now a real politician. But to tell Buhari not to run in 2019, he does
not have the power because he has only one vote like any other person.
What I can assure you is that 87 percent of Nigerians are with
Buhari in the race for 2019. Nobody would allow him to poison people’s
mind. Those people in the Bush do not know whether Obasanjo asked Buhari
not to run for re-election in 2019. I want to also commend some
governors who are supporting the government.
I thank the 16 governors who have already agreed to give space
for the cattle colonies. Obasanjo tore his PDP card in 2015 but he
cannot do that to the APC."
