The National President of Bilital Maroobe Pastoralists Association of Nigeria (BILMPAN), Alhaji Ali Muhammad Rimindako, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently intervene in a law enacted by the Government of Benin Republic to stop Fulani cattle breeders from entering the country, except an official approval is given.

He made the call, yesterday, in Birnin Kebbi while delivering his speech at the official launching of a project for assisting families faced with cumulative effects of pastoral lean season, insecurity and COVID-19 pandemic in Kebbi State.

He explained that the organisation, established years ago, was aimed at promoting peace and unity in the Africa sub-region. And though four countries were originally involved in its establishment, it has expanded to include about 11 African countries, with Benin Republic being one of them.

“The association currently comprises Mali, Niger Republic, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Senegal, Benin Republic, Mauritania, Ghana, Chad and Cote d’Ivoire,” he said. He explained that it is only Benin Republic that has refused Fulani herdsmen entrance into the country.

“So, we are appealing to Kebbi State Governor, Senator Atiku Bagudu to pass this message to President Buhari to intervene, so that the law can be withdrawn for the progress, peace and promotion of the economy in the region,” he said.

Rimindako said his organisation was ready to work with security agencies to fish out criminal elements among them across the country.

He explained that his association had commenced advocacy and training of members to enable them embrace and restore peace and progress for the desired change in the country.

Also speaking, the National President of Miyyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN), Alhaji Mohammed Kiruwa, said members of the association are cattle breeders and not kidnappers or killers.

Good

Just the beginning

Fulani's should go back to their country, those idiots from Sudan are busy causing mayhem in the country because one of them is in sit of power ..

Benin Republic a Muslim nation is calling for end of fulani people.

Why Benin republic even have to warn buhari like he is the fulani supremacist

I am embarrassed to share a country with Benin republic rejected almajiris.


Meanwhile buhari is using Niger Delta money to build railway for Niger

At the mention of herdsmen many panics!

Nice one Benin republic

Lalasticlala

Oh oh

So,Fulani ppl have sworn they will keep roaming with their cows forever instead of modern farming practices like ranching?
And everybody must accept it by fire by force?

They want Buhari to influence a law enacted in Benin Republic... Nawoa! Did Benin Republic influence Buhari when he closed the border?

Nigerians and hypocrisy!!

No terrorists and bandits allowed in Benin.

Right measure

Ehhen! Better country. People wey sabi!

Benin Republicans.. una own better oo!

Una no know wetin una president do for una so.

No more parasites in ur country.

Unlike us.

I thought the borders are closed?

I will never understand why these same people that characterize Igbos as leeches on society also like supporting the "One Nigeria" mantra. Like why don't they also support Igbos being expelled from the Nigerian state.

Like why can't South East and majority Igbo SouthSouth areas cam just be expelled from Nigeria as its own country.

Because why do you think they are in Lagos in the first place?. When Ghanains were flooding into Nigeria in the 70s and 80s as soon as Nigerians no longer wanted them here, they were easily expelled.

If you are really tired of Igbos coming to your land. Give them their own country and expell all of them there. Hell, even build wall around Igboland and be happy that you will never see them again.

This is good and bad for us at same time. It means all the Fulanis will be headed to where they are welcomed.

This is expected.

Fulani issue now national issue

A disintegrated Nigeria would have solved the problem of Fulani herdsmen along time ago. A Republic of Igbo land would have outlawed Fulani herdsmen and decreed that any cattle entering the republic should be transported in a vehicular mode.

At the mention of herdsmen many panics!

They have network in 11 whole countries already?

Lord, may they scatter in Jesus name.

Not just Benin, every country should ban them.

This is 21st century. Let them embrace ranching.
