Nigerians have taken to Twitter to blast the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) for allegedly threatening to remove Senate President Bukola Saraki from office if he fails to resign.
The reactions came after Garus Gololo, the Coordinator of the group in Benue, was quoted by The Punch as blaming Saraki for causing the challenges facing the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
“It is on this note that we are saying that Saraki ought not to be in office again as Senate President, more so, Saraki has failed to coordinate and organise the National Assembly to offer quality legislation that Nigerians need.

“Nigerians are in dire need of people that have the interest of the masses. Miyetti Allah is looking for a leader that would preside over the affairs of the Senate with ultimate respect for the executive and the judiciary, not someone like Senator Saraki that would always scheme to outdo the Presidency.
“We are now tired of Saraki’s style of leadership at the National Assembly. Therefore, we are now warning him to honourably resign his position as president of the Senate or we will force him out,” Gololo was quoted as saying.
But many Nigerians took to Twitter to vent their displeasure with the statement.

Miyetti Allah threatens to force @BukolaSaraki out of office if he doesn’t resign! Do we need further proof of a connection and coordination between killer herdsmen and the very top of the @MBuhari government? Why should Miyetti Allah hound Buhari’s political enemies? #RenosDarts

I wish Osinbajo had declared this useless Miyetti Allah people a terrorist organization when their grand patron was holidaying in faraway London. #pvcisagoal #ourmumudondo

What gives Miyetti Allah the right to threaten @bukolasaraki ??
They have to have a Backing from Aso Rock anyway since Oshiomole couldn't do it then they want to use Miyetti Allah..
This Time shall Pass

When people tag Buhari, Miyetti Allah's sponsor, I just ignore. But with this, I'm forced to agree.
This was how some cretins threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable during GEJ's & got away with it.
May I remind them that Saraki is not GEJ. Las las, Saraki will cure their craze https://t.co/QvwhZI0aWL

It is not only Miyetti Allah, it is Buhari and the Herdsmen that had formed the fourth Arm of government in Nigeria.
Revolution is the solution.

Is Miyetti Allah the militant arm of @APCNigeria, and the 4th wing of our military structure?https://t.co/zjsJ6i82YX

Yesterday, it was @MBuhari walked #800metres so let’s make him a life president.
Today, it is Miyetti Allah that is giving order to SP Saraki to resign.#ThisIsNigeria where people take pride when you use them as reference to define foolishness and brainlessness.

Anyone disputing that fact collude with the herdsmen to cause mayhem. Miyetti allah now talking because their master is around. https://t.co/BJT0uRHvWK

This crowns it all. So the Leader of Miyetti Allah that FG has refused to proscribe as a terrorist group for reasons best known to them is openly telling the Senate president they will force him out. Imagine the Impunity Buhari encourages despite d graves littered across Nigeria

Miyetti Allah is evil in the of PMB to cause division and ethnic cleansing in Benue, Plateau, Taraba States, they can tell their tales in the hand of these marauders called Miyetti Allah. This was how they took away the northern part of Jos from the original Jos people. God dey

There is not nothing we will not see in this Buhari Administration.
Resign or we will force you out.
Miyetti Allah tells Bukola Saraki.😂
Cattle Rearers want to impeach the Senate President. #ThisIsNigeria
— Babalola E Temitope (@B_E_T) August 22, 2018
And so I heard one "Miyetti Allah" threatened to force saraki out?
Wait, are they the fourth arm of the government?
Absolutely ridiculous!

1. Miyetti Allah says @bukolasaraki must step down or they will "force him out". This is ominious and sinister. Miyetti Allah is a terrorist organisation which controls the Fulani herdsmen. They are the Hamas of Nigeria. Buhari is their leader and they are his footsodiers…1/2
