Sule Lamido Says — Fulani are paying the price for Buhari’s failures

Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has fingered President Muhammadu Buhari for the distrust between Fulani and their host states, saying Buhari’s nepotic style of leadership has painted the entire Fulani ethnicity black.

Lamido who was speaking to newsmen in Kano claimed that Fulani is erroneously seen as Nigeria’s problem simply because Buhari, who himself is a Fulani man, has failed the entire nation.

Sule Lamido lamented that “today, Nigerians are so blindfolded on the hates and apparent dislikes of Fulanis because of President Buhari mis-governance, forgetting that not all Fulani’s even voted for him and or like him”.

He said, “you can see that, myself as a Fulani, I didn’t vote for Buhari and our parties are completely different, but at the same time, the Yoruba’s in Tinubu the Igbos in Ngige, and the South-South in Ameachi were the ones who firmly stood behind the President to Win, not even the Fulanis.

“I expect Bola Tinubu, Rotimi Ameachi, and the likes of Ngige to come out and frankly speak in protections of the Fulanis because they are behind the election of Buhari who is a Fulani head and who also benefitted immensely from his government, not even the herders who are today been persecuted.

“But their criminal silence in the face of the horrible attacks on Fulanis after benefiting jointly in the government led by a Fulani figurehead is worrisome and something like a betrayal of trust to the President and his kinsmen”.

“Nigerians should know that Fulani herders are very peaceful people who pursue nature and live by nature, they are never violent.”

He added, “today the Northerners and the entire Fulani race are not in peace. Even in the North, the Insecurity and the killings plus kidnappings created by the APC-led Buhari regime has affected everyone, so to bully them and see them as Nigeria problems are adding dangerous salt to their injuries”.
