operating without let or hindrance in the public space. Coincidentally, their sense of self-importance has grown in provocative proportions since the Buhari administration took over in 2015. Apart from threatening other ethnic groups and stakeholders in the country, in a rather vexatious manner, its leaders recently declared that ‘‘Nigeria belongs to Fulani’’ and that the ‘‘Fulani will rule forever.
Already, different stakeholders have taken exception to the irresponsible and provocative utterances of Miyetti Allah. The Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 northern states and Abuja has declared emphatically that the ‘‘statement is capable of causing disaffection among Nigerians’’ and ‘‘tearing the nation apart.’’ A few weeks ago, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State called on the Federal Government to ban the influx of herdsmen from neighbouring countries into Nigeria.
In contrast, the now proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra did not threaten the corporate entity of Nigeria as much as Miyetti Allah has done before it received a draconian treatment from the government. If any organisation needs to be considered a terrorist organisation, it is Miyetti Allah. But the dominance of clannish persons in the security agencies has given the scoundrels free rein to utter inanities in the public space. We call on the Federal Government to call the group to order.
