Quit Order: Northern Elders Forum Threaten Buhari (See How)

-You Will Be Held Responsible For The Death Of Any Of Kinsmen In The South- Northern Elders Tell Buhari

Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has threatened  President muhammadu Buhari over his recent reaction to the directives given by the group to the Fulani herdsmen.

Naija News recalls that the group had earlier given an order asking the herders to leave the southern part of the country.

According to the spokesman of the group, Abdul-Aziz Suleiman in a statement,

although they welcome the assurance by the President, they were not lost in the fact the lives of their kinsmen was under threat in the southern part of the country.

He said “CNG wholeheartedly welcomes the assurance given by Mr President and his government to protect and guarantee the safety of all Nigerians anywhere they are including the threatened herdsmen in the South.

“We however wish to remind Mr. President and the government that Northerners would hold them fully responsible should any one of them fall victim of the consequences of the concerns we raised.”

Suleiman said it was amazed at the denial of southern leaders that they did not declare war on the herders as a result of the killing of the daughter of an Afenifere chieftain by unknown assassins.

“We capped our submission by pointing out the dangerous war bells sounded by the southern leaders that tended to instigate violence against the herders living in the South following the killing of the daughter of the Afenifere leader, Mrs. Olakunrin Fasoranti.

“We then politely called the attention of the elders to the imminent attack the Fulani were exposed to in the South while the federal authorities remained silent on the matter.

“We made a request to the elders by precisely saying that based on the our observations and the fact that the instigation of hatred against the Fulani persists, we feel obliged to advice the leadership of the Northern Elders Forum to consider calling on the Fulani to forego their right to live and flourish anywhere in the south and relocate to their various states in the north to ensure their safety noting the inherent return value of such denial.”

According to him, Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, responded by acknowledging the concern, saying “We are worried about their wellbeing. If it is true that their safety can no longer be assured, we rather have them back in areas where their safety is guaranteed.
