INSECURITY: We won’t attend meeting with Miyetti Allah- Southern, Middle Belt leaders tell Abubakar




LAGOS—THE Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum, SMBLF, yesterday, declined an invitation by former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd) on a roundtable on national issues and security scheduled to hold in Minna, Niger State.“

The leaders declined the invitation over the inclusion of Miyetti Allah to the roundtable describing it as “a grave insult” to them.“This was contained in a letter titled: Re: Roundtable on National Issues and Security and signed by Chief E.K Clark (PANDEF leader), Chief Ayo Adebanjo (Afenifere leader), Chief John Nwodo (President, Ohanaeze) and Dr. Pogu Bitrus (President, Middle Belt Forum).

The statement reads: “We individually received your invitation to the above event holding in Minna between 29 and 30 July 2019. We thank you for your interest in the affairs of our country which made us accept your invitation in good faith.

“It was in the thick of our preparations for the journey that fuller details of the roundtable came to our attention, some aspect of which has necessitated this last-minute communication with you.“

“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, Ohanaeze, Middle Belt Forum, Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Leaders Forum, and Northern Elders Forum.

We were comfortable up to that point until we saw the following: 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, including life, 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 regret any inconvenience our decision may cause you as we know the efforts that go into putting events such as this together.

“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. Once again, we appreciate all your efforts.

The North and SW media has been trying there best to divide SE and SS but God has always thwarted there plans.

Now, look at where we are today. SW (divided between Muslims and Christians). See how North is now divided cheesy . But yet SS and SE is still standing strong.

This case can be likened to what happened in the Bible when God put misunderstanding within people that came to fight against Israelites turned against each other, killing themselves while Israelites watched cheesy

True... really dont know why the FG and Miyetti Allah is trying so hard to make a cattle breeders association the face of Fulani, are there no Fulanis of other professions and other groups whom are well learned?

If the FG so wants it, let it set up a Fulani consultative forum (FCF) which supersedes the Miyetti. And if the Fulanis which the president and other notable individuals belongs to wants to put cattle herders as its face, then that is fine. Then we can apportion blame on Fulani in general and not when things go wrong Miyetti(herdsmen and bandits) takes the blame shielding the Fulani leaders which comprises of past Generals and presidents whom are supposed to take better decisions in guiding the young. But are only seen when General elections come up.

but we all know they wont create such forums as it would further divide the North and stop its usage as a united stronghold while the North in general bears the stigmatization of their atrocities at it's own general detriment. Which is one of the major reason the middle belt has asked not to be addressed as North.

My honest advice to southern and middle belt leaders who have been on the receiving end of the Fulani Herdsmen menace is to never be deceived by the this so-called "sugar-coated" meetings because a jihadist is a terrorist, and would never change.

No matter how peace is preached and even enforced, a jihadist will use the only available opportunity to wreck havoke.

It's a phycological thing, that can be defeated when the physiology behind jihadists activities is defeated.

But, you all will agree with me that's a mission impossible. It's like saying Christianity shouldn't exist.

The only way out, is for state governments in the south and middle belt to arm local vigilantes that will wander the length and breath of the forests in this areas. Confronting this jihadists firepower for firepower.

Yes, it's a war that most be fought and won. Because, the federal government have lost that capability to protect the Nigerian people against this terrorists. Just like they've failed to protect citizens in zamfara, kaduna, and adamawa.

You are smart to see how Fulani people do not want to further divide the already disintegrated North.

We must force them to adopt Fulani Consultative Forum(CFC)

Kids everywhere, I'm sure if you were told to summarize the write up, you won't be able to.
See what bigotry has done to your young brain, just because of a meeting you are already feeling as if the middle belt and SS feel anything about the SE. FYI, they are only doing this to have a common ground and not to support your agitation for Biafra if that is what your brain is interpreting it into

How do you expect citizens to attend security meeting with foreign terrorists.... Of course it's an insult to them.
