News Investigators/ The national leadership of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a Fulani socio-cultural association, has suspended its state chairmen in Taraba, Bauchi, and Adamawa states with immediate effect.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mohammed-Suleiman, National Public Relations Officer of the association, and made available to newsmen on Thursday in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Mr Suleiman said the decision was taken by the association’s National President, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, following investigations into several complaints received from Fulani pastoralists in the affected states.
“After thorough scrutiny and consideration of numerous complaints from Fulani pastoralists, the National President has suspended the following state chairmen: Bammi Bello-Jane of Taraba, Muhammed Hussaini -Buzaye of Bauchi, and Usman Abubakar-Yirlabe of Adamawa, with immediate effect,” he said.
He said that the suspension followed allegations of poor performance, lack of representation, and neglect of members’ welfare by the affected chairmen.
Suleiman said the decision was aimed at restoring members’ trust and confidence in the association’s leadership.
He also said the National President had directed all relevant security agencies and stakeholders to desist from engaging with the suspended chairmen, as they were no longer authorised to represent the association.
“We urge all members and stakeholders to recognise and respect this decision.
“Any attempt by the suspended chairmen to parade themselves as leaders or members of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore will attract prosecution in accordance with the law.
“The association will not tolerate any act capable of bringing it into disrepute or undermining its integrity,” he said.
Suleiman added that the National President reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of all members and assured that the association would continue to promote the interests of Fulani pastoralists across the country.
