The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to place presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on a security watchlist.
According to the group, the call became necessary in view of Atiku’s alleged inflammatory statements ahead of the 2019 election.
Atiku had said herdsmen killings would increase should Buhari be re-elected for a second term.
Miyetti Allah, in a communiqué issued at the end of an emergency meeting and signed by its National President, Abdullahi Bodejo; and the National Secretary, Saleh Alhassan, said the former Vice-President was “capable of destabilising the country.”
“We appeal to President Muhammad Buhari to instruct the security agencies to monitor Atiku Abubakar, considering his volatile and inciting statement he made against the herders.
“His statement as a presidential candidate is capable of destabilising the country, especially considering that he is currently surrounded by anarchist and hate speech merchants feeding on the lucrative industry of fake news and ethnic irredentism,” the communique read in part.
The group also called for a withdrawal of the Waziri of Adamawa title that was recently bestowed on Atiku by the Lamido of Adamwa, and berated former President Olusegun Obasanjo for endorsing his presidential ambition after vowing never to do so.
“We are calling on the Lamido of Adamawa to strip Atiku Abubakar of his title as Wazirin Adamawa for his open hatred for the Fulani pastoralist and surrounding himself with ethnic irredentist and hate speech merchants that have been profiling the Fulani race and calling for their genocide.
“The title of Waziri in the Adamawa Emirate should be reserved for only Fulani sons with a track record of helping and protecting the Fulani race and not a shadowy character with convoluted identity,” the group said.
