Miyetti Allah endorsing presidential candidates without consultation with board, members - Jibrin

- Walid Jibrin criticises Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) for endorsing candidates ahead of 2019

- Jibrin says the MACBAN owes the Sultan of Sokoto, the traditional rulers of Kano, Katsina and Adamawa apologies for dabbling into partisan politics

- The Fulani leader argues that the MACBAN does not have any right to endorse candidates without the consent of its BoT

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) owe northern traditional rulers including the Sultan of Sokoto, emirs of Kano and Katsina apologies for endorsing presidential candidates without the permission of its board, Walid Jibrin has said.

Alhaji Jibrin, chairman of the concerned Fulani leaders, reportedly spoke at a press conference in Kaduna, saying the MACBAN cannot dabble into partisan politics without seeking the consent of the members of the Board of Trustees (BoT) and patrons of the association.

“Such decision taken recently by the association without the knowledge of the BOT and patrons and majority of registered members is anarchy and disrespect and amounts to dragging our paramount ruler into politics,” Jibrin, who is also the Sarkin Fulan in Dangi Nasarawa, said.

According to him, apart from the Sutlan and the emirs of Kano and Katsina, the MACBAN also owed the traditional rulers of Zazzau and Adamawa apologies for allegedly being ignorant of the rules guiding the association.

“I want Nigerians to know that we have over 25 Fulani associations in Nigeria that are fully registered and over 500 categories of Fulani race living in Nigeria with even some who are unable to speak Fulfulde due to the general global changes like the current global climate change affecting the world.

“I, therefore, call on the Fulani never to be deceived again by anybody no matter how highly placed. Fulani must talk with one voice among our over 6,000 voters in Nigeria. I call on Miyetti Allah not to further add fuel to the fire,” he said.

He argued that the associations should rather be fighting for the Fulani who have no land for rearing, no water ponds, no functional nomadic schools, and no cattle path.

Legit.ng earlier reported how President Muhammadu Buhari was endorsed for the 2019 presidential election by the MACBAN.

The group's national president, Muhammadu Kirowa, made the announcement at its 2018 annual general meeting.

This happened after the association previously said it had not yet decided who to support between Buhari and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Both men are Fulani even though Atiku is from Adamawa and Buhari is from Katsina.

However, the Middle Belt Forum recently condemned the endorsement of Buhari’s re-election bid by MACBAN.

In a statement released by its national president, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, on Sunday, January 13, the forum described the endorsement as a form of support for the reign of terror going on in the Middle Belt region.

It was learnt that the forum said the federal government's failure to hold MACBAN responsible for the killings in the region was proof that the Buhari government and Miyetti Allah members were partnering to foist a reign of terror on the people.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

Former Maritime Agency Boss, Buba Galadima, Accuses AMCON Of Witch-hunt After Property Takeover

A former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Agency, Buba Galadima, has accused the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria of witch-hunt after the agency took possession of his business and assets on Tuesday in Abuja. Galadima, an ardent critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that he did not borrow money or have unpaid debt with Unity Bank, which lodged a complaint against him and occasioned AMCON’s move on Tuesday. The properties taken over include House No. 15, Addis Ababa Crescent, Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and House No. 4, Bangui Street, Wuse 2, also in Abuja. Reacting to the situation, Galadima said, “This is an attempt to disgrace and break me down. This is injustice and an attempt to humiliate me. "But I am unbreakable and they can never silence me. They sacked me and over 50 people that sleep in the apartment. "We don’t know where to go. We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
