It'll Be A Disaster If Atiku Rules Nigeria, Says Miyetti Allah
The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani says an Atiku presidency will be a "disaster" for Nigeria.
The group has also come to the defence of President Muhammadu Buhari against a statement by Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that the president is not complete Fulani Man.
A statement bySaleh Alhassan, the group'sNational Secretary, and published by The Punch newspaper, accused Atiku of lacking the quality of a genuine Fulani man.
The statement read: The truth of the matter is that, in several places in Adamawa State, they speak Fulfulde. The fact that Atiku speaks Fulfulde doesnt make him a Fulani man.
If you look at Atiku physically, he doesnt carry the biological features of a Fulani man. You look at Atiku and you see the Bantu tribe. He doesnt belong to the Sudanic tribe.
Also, we dont know Atikus uncle and all Fulani know their uncles. Have you ever seen Atikus uncle? His claim to Fulani background is shrouded in uncertainty because nobody knows his uncles. Buharis Fulaniness is not in doubt. His father was an Ardo, a Fulani leader. So, I think it is not an issue.
On the campaign promises of the former vice-president, the statement continued: "Is Atiku not responsible for the crisis on the Mambilla Plateau? They went there, took over the land from the indigenous people and created mega farms and ranches, plunging them (Fulani) into poverty.
If there is anybody that has created poverty, it is Atiku and the PDP. Over the 16 years they ruled this country, they virtually raped the country in a very shameful manner. It will be a disaster for Nigeria if Atiku becomes President and I know God will not allow it because he doesnt mean well for the poor people in this country.
He is a very wicked and vicious capitalist without a conscience, whose morality is in question. He will not only sell this country, he will destroy the very fabric that keeps us together. His aim is to create a paradise of thieves and moral perverts in Nigeria
