Fulani leaders in Nigeria have expressed their support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to them, President Tinubu was endorsed and voted for to help address the challenges facing their community.
This consensus was reached during the quarterly Fulbe United for Peace and Development National and Zonal Leadership Consultative Meeting in Abuja.
The leaders also reminded President Tinubu of the promises he made to the Fulani people during his election campaign.
The president of the association, Ardo Aliyu Liman Bobboyi, mentioned that President Tinubu was given the title of Barkindo of Nigerian Ardo, solidifying the “Fulaaku covenant” between them.
Additionally, the South-West coordinator of the association, Ardo Abeokuta, Muhammad Kabir Labar, criticized the ban on grazing around the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, without providing an alternative solution.
“It is expected of every person that wants to take over or ban to call stakeholders and discuss the way forward,” he said.
“Our business has to be somewhere and the other businesses need to be somewhere. We have all agreed to that. Let’s be considerate with ourselves and discuss the way forward.
“We don’t call for conflict. We are peace-loving Nigerians, and we have been contributing to the development of this country right from day one,” he said.
They also distanced themselves from the recent comments made by the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) about President Tinubu’s administration.
