A former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has berated All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders from southern Nigeria for keeping quiet about the quit notice issued by Sunday Igboho to Fulani ethnic group in the region.
According to Lamido, the silence by the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and other leaders of the party is unfair to the Fulani ethnic group.
According to Lamido, Tinubu, the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi; Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige and former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha are among those whose silence has triggered the hatred against the Fulanis.
Lamido also said that Tinubu is silent about Fulani-farmers’ crisis in Oyo state because of his ambition.
He said the ‘hatred’ against the Fulani ethnic group which reached a crescendo with ultimatums issued in Oyo and Ondo states for them to vacate was “fuelled as a result of the failure of the Nigerian government which is currently headed by a Fulani man (Buhari).
He said: “Go on social media and see what they write about Fulanis. It is simply because our own son (Buhari) is there. Therefore, they read us (Fulanis) through him. When Jonathan was there, they called his people names.
“Buhari was the choice of Nigerians not just Fulanis. I am Fulani and I didn’t vote for Buhari. Ask Tinubu. What I am saying is that why can’t his (Buhari) people, Tinubu, his DG of Campaign, Amaechi, and other APC leaders defend us and say ‘look, it is not all Fulanis’.”
