AISHA BUHARI SHOULD HANDS-OFF THE DAURAS AND KYARIS, JONATHAN CREATED KILLER HERDSMEN – PRESIDENT AREWA YOUTHS - "Yes, I totally agree with you that the killings and attacks spiked during Buhari’s tenure. The simple fact is that it was a seed sowed by Jonathan in 2014 as I said earlier. The former President Jonathan was responsible for the empowerment of the so-called herdsmen. In his desire to get the support of the north through the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association and the Northern Elders Forum, President Jonathan through some Northern elements lobbied these groups to no avail because of the north’s resolve to return the power to the region. These two groups rejected his offers. Jonathan did not stop at that, he went ahead to create Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore and Northern Elders Council THROUGH THE SAME Northern elements and empowered them." - Source: https://247ureports.com/2019/11/aisha-buhari-should-hands-off-the-dauras-and-kyaris-jonathan-created-killer-herdsmen-president-arewa-youths/ |
