Femi Fani-Kayode Responds To Miyetti Allah's Reasons For The Plateau Massacre Posted: 25 Jun 2018 05:06 PM PDT Yesterday Miyetti Allah said that the reason for slaughtering over 200 innocent and defenseless people in Jos yesterday was because they stole 300 of their cows. Femi Fani Kayode has responded by calling them barbarians and lamenting that he has constantly spoken against these creatures for the last three years. See his tweet below: Miyetti Allah says the reason its members slaughtered 200 innocent and defenceless Christians in Jos yesterday is because they "stole and killed 300 of our cows". I am at a loss for words! For the last 3 years I have spoken out against these creatures and their barbarity... ..People that value cows more than human beings are no better than animals and have no place in a civilised society. I warned that this would happen but few listened. Now it is unfolding before their eyes and it will get worse. The only thing left to say is "pray for Nigeria". https://mobile.twitter.com/realFFK/status/1011226959290875904 Related Topics: #FaniKayode, #Herdsmen, #MiyettiAllah, #PlateauKillings Sharing is caring.

"They Said I Should Not Follow Or Support You" - Tinubu Tell Buhari Posted: 25 Jun 2018 11:07 AM PDT Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National leader of the All Progressives Congress( APC) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore former President Olusegun Obasanjo letter and seek re-election.  The APC Chieftain made this statement at the just concluded National Convention of the party in Abuja. See full details of his statement as Published by the Nation Newspaper below: All Progressives Congress( APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore any letter from former President Olusegun Obasanjo and seek re-election. Obasanjo, in an open statement, urged Buhari to stay off the race next year and become a statesman. But, to Tinubu, the former President is a busybody and not a democrat whose letter to Buhari had been marked as "not delivered". He said the successful hosting of the party's national convention had proven wrong those who predicted its explosion. He insisted that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) was a party of the past which had been deserted. Tinubu, who spoke shortly after the inauguration of the new National Working Committee of APC, led by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, said Obasanjo had no democratic credentials to ask Buhari not to run. He said: "If anybody must blame you at all; it's over-democratisation. Those who asked me not to follow and support a General should better look at their house; it has been deserted; it is a house of frustration and migration to other parties. "I remember one Uncle backdoor, who has been a General himself and who has been elected President; I call him election rigger. " Let us compare the two of you. The man had the temerity to write a letter, not to the post office. We said, 'no; we are not using the post office like that anymore, we are now using email. Your letter is not delivered, you are analogue'. "If he had the temerity to say Buhari must not run again, in which party? Thank God he is not a member of our party, we hold our future in our hands. What is your business, busybody? Unfortunately, he has torn the card of his previous party, his own legacy. So, he has none anymore. "Now we have a General that they asked me not to follow. They said if you call yourself a democrat, don't follow this man. I said I am not mad enough to listen to your lies. Thank you Muhammadu Buhari for the job you are doing up till today. "You have not set half of the records of this General who is not a democrat. He does not know the meaning of democracy. You have not tried to dismantle the National Assembly and impeach or remove a governor with six out of 38 members. You have not done criminal assault on democracy and they are writing letters. "Today, through convention, we have changed the leadership of our party, but not at gunpoint as it was done to Mr. Audu Ogbeh. "Our new elected National Chairman, our new elected national executives, to my friends the governors, to my dear citizens and members of our great party, the challenge is confronting us. We thank God that we have been able to be strong enough to stop 16 years of their looting and broken promises. There is no way we face 16 years of looting, abuse of power , denial, hunger and be able to perform within three years. "Mr. President, we thank you that you have offered yourself again, run, contest, you must." Tinubu said he almost doubted if the convention would hold until he was proved wrong by the commitment and dedication of the National Convention Committee, headed by Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State. He added: "Sometimes a steel can melt. Mr. calculator, thank you; Badaru, you have delivered. The pigs and their fortune tellers said there will be explosion today. They predicted that our party will fall apart; that we will never see this party again. You navigated a very complex situation since you became the chairman of this convention committee. "In fact, a week ago, I almost changed my name to Thomas because I doubted if it was possible to hold this convention today. I gave you a call, are you set? You said 'no, Asiwaju. Even though I have not spoken to the President, we are doing fine.' Thank you to all of you (all the members) that showed dedication and commitment and good party leaders to deliver today for us. May God bless you." Tinubu said the APC had come of age within a short time. He said: "To our party members, in less than five years, our dream of a united party came to fruition. That we need a very strong party to face the party of the past who had spent 16 years of our precious life to demolish our economy, frustrated our people and led us almost astray. We said then: 'enough is enough.' "We came together; they called us all sort of names, they said it was impossible. We bunched together with just a great symbol of our party, the broom. We brought the revolution about, we got an Army General (retired) to lead us among other Generals. "Some of them called me, they said 'we don't want the General'. One member said: 'It cannot be General; he was tired of the Generals. I said until we finished with Boko Haram and looting we need one more General at least. Sai Baba and you lived up to the expectations in facing all the challenges. "Cast your mind back, dear members. When we came together, there were 12 cases in court to stop us from being registered, to stop us from bearing our name (APC), and we said these people in court were the headache of Nigeria and we said they needed a cure , they needed the medicine of APC. "Here, I must thank the Judiciary for being steadfast in the face of all intimidation, threat. And now, INEC registered the party, they registered our name. We marched on and led by this simple-minded General who is today a great democrat." Related Topics: #Tinubu, #Buhari, #Obasanjo, #2019Election Sharing is caring. Sharing is caring.

Why Herdsmen killed Over 86 People In Plateau - Miyetti Allah Speaks Posted: 25 Jun 2018 05:37 AM PDT The Chairman of North Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders' Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Danladi Ciroma, has reacted to the recent attacks on Plateau villages by suspected herdsmen where over 86 persons has been reported killed. According to a report by DAILY POST, the Plateau StatebPolice Command on Sunday confirmed the killing of 86 persons in the attacks on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government of Plateau State. Mr. Ciroma while speaking about the unfortunate incident, claimed that the attack was in retaliation of the killing of over 300 cows in the last few weeks by the villagers. Ciroma said despite the efforts of the State Government, some criminal elements hiding among their people were still frustrating the peace efforts. "These attacks are retaliatory. As much as I don't support the killing of human being, the truth must be told that those who carried out the attacks must be on revenge mission. "There have been recent reports of cow rustling and destruction of farms between Berom farmers and Fulani herdsmen. The people carrying out these criminal activities are well known to the communities but the communities are hiding them. "Fulani herdsmen have lost about 300 cows in the last few weeks – 94 cows were rustled by armed Berom youths in Fan village, another 36 cows were killed by Berom youths. In addition to that, 174 cattle were rustled and the criminals disappeared with them to Mangu. "Since these cows were not found, no one should expect peace in the areas. Even soldiers that went after the criminals to recover the rustled cows were shot by the armed rustlers and eventually escaped with all the cows. "The government of Governor Lalong has done a lot to restore peace, but the criminal elements hiding among their people are the ones frustrating these peace efforts. "Though the security agencies have tried, they need to do more by being fair to all parties; they should not neglect any report presented by Fulani of Berom because such report can lead to attacks and deaths if not properly handled. "Criminals thrive a lot in Berom communities, but when the Fulani, who are always victims of their crime, react with attacks, they blame the government. "These communities have leaders, why hide the criminals? They should fish out the criminals and hand them over to security agencies to avoid death of innocent ones. "As it is today, the Berom man cannot go to farm, the Fulani cannot breed his cows in Berom Land. This can be stopped if the security agencies do more than what they are currently doing. The attacks will stop as soon as the security agencies stop Berom youths from stealing Fulani cows" he added. Related Topics: #MiyettiAllah, #PlateauKillings, #Herdsmen Sharing is caring.
