RUGA Settlement: Give Us Sambisa Forest by johndik(m): 8:22am On Jul 07, 2019 |
National President of Miyetti Allah Kautel
Hore socio-cultural organization, Alhaji
Abdullahi Bodejo, has said that the Fulani
herders can relocate to Sambisa forest.
He, however, added that the facilities for
carrying out their cattle business must be
provided.
Bodejo also said that they never
requested
for Ruga settlement in the first place,
adding that the Fulani already have their
Ruga.
“Whether Sambisa or anywhere, the
Fulani
can stay. The Fulani people do not fear
Sambisa or any forest,” he told Sun.
“The Fulani are ready to stay anywhere
there is bush but number one is that
there
must be water which their cows can
drink
and there must be grasses for their cows
to eat. If Sambisa has all those facilities,
you do not need to introduce it to the
Fulani; they would go there and herd
their
cows.
“If you see any place where the Fulani do
not go to, it is because such a place does
not have water and grasses for the
grazing of their cows. All the places like
Enugu, Benue and Taraba, if Fulani don’t
go there to fertilize their land, nobody will
go there to farm.
“The Fulani have settled in many places
including the Federal Capital Territory
before the farmers came there. So, if the
Federal Government could introduce the
Fulani to the Sambisa forest, we are ready
to go there. I will be the number one
person who will go there.
“Nobody requested for Ruga settlement
in
the first place. The Fulani already have
their
Ruga. What is the meaning of Ruga?
“Is it not a place where you have the
Fulani
houses? So, we already have Ruga but I
do
not know why all the confusion about all
the issues concerning the Fulani in this
country.
“This is because we have grazing reserve
areas and people are not talking about it.
They initially talked about the cattle colony
and from there, they now started talking
about Ruga.
“They said they wanted to settle the
Fulani
in one place but did anybody tell them
what they wanted to do? Nobody had any
meeting with them on the issue of Ruga
but I noticed that there are now
desperate
people who claim to be Fulani leaders by
all means.
“You can imagine, for instance, a Fulani
man who has about 300 cows and
nobody told him that they want to settle
him in one place and suddenly, you
started
hearing about Ruga on the TV, radio and
social media.
“See how innocent Fulani people are
being
chased away in the South East, South
South and other places as if they are not
Nigerians. What caused these things is
the
issue of Ruga but the Fulani being chased
away do not even know about the Ruga
policy. Even we the Fulani leaders did not
know about the Ruga policy.
“We did not know any plan for that by the
Federal Government or the Ministry of
Agriculture. I have cows for instance and
they are staying in Ruga but we have a
problem with the cattle routes.
“If they are serious, let them come and
discuss with the real Fulani leaders and
not those who claim to be Fulani leaders
and they go behind to collect bribe and
speak for our people. How do you think
you can settle the Fulani in one place?
“How many factories from the cow value
chain do we have in this country now? If
you say you want to put the Fulani in one
Ruga settlement, how can you put for
instance about 10,000 cows in one place?
Do you want to kill the cows?” |
