Fulani being persecuted because of Buhari — Lamido
Alhaji Sule Lamido

Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa State, has said the Fulani were being persecuted in Nigeria because President Muhammadu Buhari is of the same ethnic stock.

Lamido made the comment, Thursday, against the backdrop of allegations against Fulani herdsmen in the South West region.

Herders have been accused of kidnapping for ransom and killing Yoruba indigenes in the South West. Rotimi Akeredelu, governor of Ondo State, had issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders to vacate Ondo forest reserves, citing rising cases of insecurity in the state.

In Oyo State, Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, also issued an eviction notice to Fulani herdsmen in Ibarapa axis of the state. Making reference to the ultimatums, Lamido said Fulani people were being treated unjustly for being of the same tribe as the President, even though not all of them support Buhari.

He said: “They are reading Fulani through Buhari, who is also a Fulani. They failed to understand that not every Fulani supports Buhari. Even me, I am of the Fulani tribe but did not vote for Buhari. But, what Fulani are going through in this country is unfortunate. We are being persecuted, abused, endangered, called names, just because Buhari is one of us. This is not fair. This is unjust.

“Today Nigerians are so blindfolded by the hate and apparent dislikes of Fulanis because of President Buhari’s misgovernance, forgetting that not all Fulanis voted for him and or like him.”

Lamido asked why those who helped the president secure power in 2015 have kept mum over the travails of “Buhari’s people” in the South-western region.

“Why are those from the South, who brought Buhari to power in 2015 failed to defend his people. Where are the Tinubus, Fasholas, Amaechis, Ngiges, Soyinkas, Rochas, among others? Why can’t they protect Buhari’s people?” Lamido queried. South West governors and leaders have, however, denied allegations of targeting the Fulani.

Vaccine nativity and naivety in a fractured world - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys By Owei Lakemfa HUMANITY in 2020, the year we bade a hurried goodbye to, yesterday, like snails, withdrew into their shells following the outbreak of the corona virus COVID-19 pandemic. It was an instinctive abandonment of multilateralism. Not even the countries that claim to be religious entities, remembered that they are enjoined to be their brother’s keeper. Like Cain in the Holy Book, they would have retorted to any enquiry about their action: Am I my brother’s keeper? However, it was a vain scramble of individualism. Human beings behaved less out of knowledge and more like the child who thought that if war were to break out, all he would need do, is run and hide under his grandmother’s bed, as if the war can never get there. So, it was in the shell of each country’s skin the virus incubated each with its own solitary index case. The result at the close of that troubling year, was that from the seven isolated cases from the Wuhan fish market, humani...
