BUHARI MUST IMMEDIATELY ARREST OBASANJO – MIYETTI ALLAH MAKES FRESH DEMAND
The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore a Fulani socio-cultural organisation in Nigeria has demanded the arrest of former president Olusegun Obasanjo. . .
over the latter s recent open letter to Muhammadu Buhari The organisation through its national secretary Alhassan Saleh asked President Buhari to immediately arrest Obasanjo arguing that the latter does not mean well for the country s progress Vanguard reports that while speaking with journalists on Monday July Saleh said the Fulani should not be blamed for the escalating insecurity in the country The fact that there is insecurity I don t think the Fulani are responsible for it The narrative that we are responsible for the insecurity is even the problem we have with the Nigerian state When any crime happens even before there is an investigation people rush to the press and start accusing Fulani herdsmen Herdsmen are supposed to be carrying herds of cows but if somebody is a criminal or an armed robber he should be treated as such he said Saleh further argued that if Obasanjo in particular having ruled this country for so many years and with his network of security contacts both locally and internationally has information he should be made to volunteer it The earlier they get him Obasanjo arrested and dealt with according to the laws of the land the better He doesn t mean well for the country We just elected a new government we have a National Assembly that was just inaugurated Nobody needs any conference except they are pushing for something else he said He expressed worry that every crime in the country is now attributed to the Fulani simply because the president is from the group We are just waiting and watching carefully because we are not demanding too much from the Nigerian state All we are saying is give us space to graze our animals That is not difficult Saleh said while slamming Professor Wole Soyinka for supporting those he called discredited politicians
