Southern, Middle Belt Leaders Forum Decline Participation In Roundtable by ijustdey: 10:02pm On Jul 28, 2019
JOY ANIGBOGU



Lagos – The Southern and Middle Belt Forum leaders made up of Afenifere, pan Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Igbo socio-cultural organization, Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) and Middle Belt Forum have written to Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head State, declining to participation in a roundtable on national issues and security which is scheduled to begin on Monday because of the inclusion of Miyetti Allah group and Gan Allah Fulani Development Association as participants.

The leaders had in joint letter sent to Abdulsalami Abubakar which was made available to Daily Independent on Sunday declined to participate in the roundtable scheduled to start on Monday, expressed their displeasure to participate in the meeting which was expected to have the leaders, Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Elders Forum and service chiefs in attendance to discuss issues of security.

The leaders in the letter stated that it was shocked to have discovered that the meeting would include Miyetti Allah and Gan Allah Fulani Development Association. It said that it did not know the members of the Gan Allah Fulani Development Association and that lumping of Miyetti Allah ,a trade association for cattle herders whose members had been accused of various violations of human rights across the country sent worrying signal to them.

The letter reads, “Greetings to you from the leaders of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum.We individually received your invitation to the event holding in Minna between 29th and 30th July ,2019. We thank you for your interest in the affairs of our country which made us to accept your invitation in good faith. It was in the thick of our preparations for the journey that details of the roundtable came to our attention.

Some aspect of which has necessitated this last minute communication. We observed that the roundtable will have in attendance all the National Security Heads ,Chief of Defence Staff and notable Nigerians. Underscoring the high level of the consultations. We however noticed further that in your category of Socio-cultural organisations invited ,you listed the following: PANDEF, Afenifere, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Middle Belt Forum, Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Elder Forum. We were comfortable up to that point until we saw Gan Allah Fulani Development Association and Miyetti Allah.

“While we do not know the members of the first group, the lumping of Miyetti Allah, a trade association for cattle herders and whose members have been accused of various violations of rights across the country sends a worrying signal to us. It falls into the categorisation of our respected socio-cultural platforms with Miyetti Allah by Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu. We consider the above a grave insult on our bodies and our coming to a roundtable with the group would mean acquiescence to the narrative that put us in the same bracket with those wielding illegal AK-47 all over the country and inflicting terror on fellow citizens.

Even if the above was not the case with Miyetti Allah , bringing a trade group like them in the same vehicle with the nationalities organisations would not have been appropriate as there are organisations of their category for fishermen, farmers, spare parts dealers, and poultry owners among others across Nigeria who are not invited.

Towards this end, we decline participation in the roundtable as scheduled without prejudice to your peace-building effort which is appreciated. We equally regret any inconvenience our decision may cause you as we know the efforts that go into putting events such as this together. Be rest assured of our cooperation in all efforts and dialogues to make Nigeria peaceful, secure and forward-moving provided they are organised in a way that does not subtract from our dignity and value” it read.

The letter was signed by Chief Edwin Clark on behalf of PANDEF, chief Ayo Adebanjo for Afenifere, Dr. Nnia Nwodo for Ohaneze and Dr. Pogu Butrus for Middle Belt Forum.

IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN TRULY NIGERIANS ARE WAKING UP TO REALITY!


MYETTI ALLAH WILL BE THE STRAW THAT BREAKS THE UNITY OF THIS COUNTRY - MARK MY WORD!


AS THINGS ARE GOING NOW, BEFORE THE END OF THE EVIL BUHARI REGIME, THERE MAYBE MAJOR ACTION TOWARDS THE BALKANIZATION OF THIS CONTRAPTION CALLED NIGERIA!



MY POINT IS - MIDDLE BELT WANTS TO BE FULLY AND OFFICIALLY ADDRESSED AS MIDDLE BELT

AFENIFERE IS GRADUALLY BUT SILENTLY CALLING FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF ODUDUWA REPUBLIC - ANOTHER MURDER OF THEIR PROMINENT CHILD MIGHT SPELL IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF FULANIS FROM THEIR REGION WHICH THE NORTH WILL NOT LIKE!

NDI IGBO THRU OHANEZE AND THEIR GOVERNORS ARE GRADUALLY MAPPING OUT PLANS FOR SELF ACTUALIZATION.

BASED ON REQUEST OF GANDUJE TO CURTAIL THE MOVEMENT OF FULANIS IN THE SOUTH, SOME NORTHERN LEADERS SEEMS TO SENSE THE IMPENDING DOOM AND DAMAGE THE FULANI WILL BRING TO THE LONG TERM GAIN OF THE NORTH FROM THE SOUTHERN PART OF NIGERIA AND THEREFORE WANTS TO STOP SUCH BY ASKING FOR AN END TO FULANI MIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.


BUT FULANIS BEING THE STUBBORN FLY THAT THEY ARE, WILL NOT STOP THEIR EVIL DEEDS UNTIL NIGERIANS RAISE A MASSIVE GENOCIDE AGAINST THEM.

Better. This looks like an attempt to whitewash Miyetti Allah and do some PR for them by grouping them with highly respected leaders from the MB and South.

Correct! We have been campaigning for Governors to stop meeting with them as well.

Miyetti Allah is a union of cattle breeders if they want peace they should go into negotiation with farmers association, not with governors or socio-cultural groups. Meanwhile if they commit crime police should enforce law against them.

Great move. The south and the middle belt should close ranks and take over politics from north west...

We have more in common than the core north has with us. We should close ranks and sideline the core north.

Thank god abuja is in middlebelt and not north west

You are very correct. Fulani are not Nigerians
they have since hijacked this country that’s why the country is not moving forward. They have nothing to loose, All the times we have had a real Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba in government the impact is felt.

It’s also a shame that Afenifere will jump into such meeting base in instant gratification, pocket money or recognition by criminal who forcefully grab people’s land by killing children and pregnant women, not minding prior implications of their insensitivities that has renders our youth in SW useless despite all their higher education. Fulani are criminals, terrorist whose major intentions is to hijack our lands by killing pregnant women, children and raping our wife’s and daughters, they are in no moral position in this space called Nigeria to summon real owners of the lands to round table meeting.
