Ownership of Nigeria claim: Sultan disowns Fulani group, says no one can Islamize Nigeria
Sequel to the claims by a Fulani group that they own Nigeria from Sokoto to the Atlantic Ocean, the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, on Friday, disowned the Fulani group, saying no one can Islamise or Christianize Nigeria.
“I am the leader of Usman Danfodio dynasty, I have never seen where in the hundreds books of Usman Danfodio where it was said Nigeria belong to the Fulanis. What he wrote was the role of Islam in leadership, governance, among others. They never mention of conquer of any particular land or claim of ownership of any territory.
He pointed out that not all the Fulanis were involved in kidnapping, banditry and other crimes adding that those ones behind all the atrocities were not members of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association According to him, “It is not possible for anybody to Islamise or Christianize Nigeria, it is not possible, hundred percent impossible but we still have leaders who use their privileged positions either in the church or mosque to say many bad things and nothing is done to them. They say things with impunity but never get punished.”
