The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeder Association (MACBAN) has called on President Bola Tinubu to ensure that its member is among the appointees in the presidency, even as office sweepers.
The association says the call was necessary considering their prayers and 85 per cent votes that led to Tinubu’s victory in the February 25th, 2023 Presidential election.
On Wednesday, the southeast zonal leader of MACBAN, Gidado Siddikki, made the call while speaking to journalists in Awka on the nation’s current state.
His words:
“During the election, to my knowledge, my people (Fulanis) voted for President Tinubu because of his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari told my people to vote for Tinubu, and they all did so.
They prayed, supported, endorsed and did everything politically possible to ensure his victory. So he should not abandon us.
“In all the boards, parastatals and other appointments the president has made so far, no Miyetti Allah member is among including the recent Senate screen Ministerial nominees.
“Apart from exempting us from the N8,000 proposed palliative and other benefits of the government, he should appoint us too; even as sweepers at the Presidential Villa, we are okay with that.”
