The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has
lambasted Fulani lawmakers in the National Assembly for failing to
protect the interest of herdsmen.
The Secretary-General of the
group, Saleh Al-Hassan, said this during an interview on Sunrise Daily, a
Channels Television programme, on Friday.
He said, “Our
elite have failed to protect us. Our National Assembly members that are
of Fulani background are just there collecting money. They can’t
protect their people. They don’t want to come out to say the truth.”
While
insisting that herdsmen don’t bear arms, Al-Hassan said there would not
be peace until those who feel cheated are given justice, adding that any attempt to chase them out of the country would fail.
Al-Hassan
added, “If you have injustice in the land, you can only end up with
negativity. There is nowhere you will find citizens being denied their
economic rights and then you expect that there will be peace in that
kind of place. What we are saying is give us a share of the land resources in this country.”
He
also said herdsmen were the victims of the killings in Plateau and
Benue states, saying no one had been brought to book for the killings of
Fulani in Plateau State.
He said it was for this reason that the
group decided to drag the state government before the ECOWAS court,
where he said they were claiming N40bn for the killing of 5,000 herdsmen
on the Plateau.
“So, no Berom man should begin to raise any moral justification. They are the ones that don’t want peace,” he added.
