‘Resign Or We Will Force You Out’ – Miyetti Allah Tells Saraki

John Charles Makurdi

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association on Tuesday warned the President of Senate , Bukola Saraki, to resign his position immediately or be forced to do so .

The national coordinator of the association in Benue State , Alhaji Garus Gololo, gave the warning in an interview with our correspondent in Makurdi.

Gololo said Saraki had created numerous problems for the administration of President Muhammad Buhari , which he said had affected the economic and social growth of the nation .

“ It is on this note that we are saying that Saraki ought not to be in office again as Senate President , more so , Saraki has failed to coordinate and organise the National Assembly to offer quality legislation that Nigerians need .

“ Nigerians are in dire need of people that have the interest of the masses . Miyetti Allah is looking for a leader that would preside over the affairs of the Senate with ultimate respect for the executive and the judiciary , not someone like Senator Saraki that would always scheme to outdo the Presidency .

“ We are now tired of Saraki’ s style of leadership at the National Assembly.

Therefore , we are now warning him to honourably resign his position as president of the Senate or we will force him out”, Gololo said , refusing , however, to explain how the association would remove the Senate president .

Reacting to the comment by Governor Ortom accusing a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police , Abubakar Tsav , of being an agent of the Miyetti Allah , Gololo said Tsav was not a member of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association or a Fulani man by tribe and couldn ’ t have been an agent of the Miyetti Allah .

He urged governor Ortom to face his problem with the EFCC and leave Miyetti Allah alone .

“ Ortom should forget about anything called Miyetti Allah and grazing law and fight for his re – election because Benue people and his new party ( PDP) have rejected him , ” adding that the PDP would not give him the ticket to run in the 2019 governorship election in the state.
