The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani Socio-Cultural Association has urged Nigerians to reject Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at Feb.16 polls, Dailytrust reports. According to the report, the National President of the Association, Alhaji Bello Bodejo, made the call at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.
Bodejo accused Atiku of trying to destabilise the country using the latest Amnesty International (AI)’s report on the farmer/herders’ conflicts in some parts of the North.
“Atiku weighed in on the report to attack the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for failing in its duty to protect the lives of its people who have witnessed many preventable deaths.
“We totally condemn the desperate vituperation of Atiku for lashing on the false Amnesty International report with the hope of garnering political capital from the farmers/herders conflict.
“We call on our members and peace-loving Nigerians not only to condemn him for the naked dance in the market place but to totally reject him as a presidential candidate. This is because his intentions are inimical to progress, development and peaceful coexistence of the country.”
“His statement as a presidential candidate is capable of destabilising the country, especially considering that he is currently surrounded by anarchists and hate speech merchants feeding on the lucrative industry of fake news and ethnic irrenditism.”
