The national leadership of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a Fulani socio-cultural organization, has suspended its state chairmen in Taraba, Bauchi, and Adamawa with immediate effect.
This was announced in a statement issued on Thursday by the association’s National Public Relations Officer, Mallam Mohammed Suleiman, in Keffi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Suleiman stated that the decision, approved by the National President, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, followed thorough investigations and multiple complaints from Fulani pastoralists in the affected states expressing dissatisfaction with their state leaders.
“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 State chapters, effective immediately,” he said.
He explained that the complaints bordered on poor performance, lack of representation, and disregard for members’ welfare.
“After careful consideration and thorough scrutiny, the National President determined that the suspensions were necessary to restore the trust and confidence of the members.
He added that the National President then called upon all relevant security authorities and stakeholders to desist from working with the suspended chairmen, as they are no longer authorised to represent the association or hold any leadership positions.
“We urge all members and stakeholders to recognise and respect this decision. The association warns that any attempts by the suspended chairmen to parade themselves as members or leaders of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani Socio-Cultural Association will be met with prosecution according to the law.
“We will not tolerate any actions that may bring the association into disrepute or undermine its integrity,” he noted.
Suleiman added that the National President reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of members and pledged that the association would continue to advocate for the interests and well-being of Fulani pastoralists nationwide.
