Nobody Can Stop Herdsmen From Accessing Other Parts Of Nigeria-abdullahi by Enrichlee(m): 10:14pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Onetime Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University has
said the Nigerian constitution gives Fulani herdsmen the
right to go about their business all cross the country.
Ango Abdullahi Speaking in Bauchi, a former Vice Chancellor
of the Ahmadu Bello University, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, has
said the Nigerian constitution gives Fulani herdsmen the
right to go about their businesses all cross the country. “If
for any reason, somebody in one section of this country will
deny him access then we have to take measures to respond
to that. We are not saying that if a herdsman encroaches on
a farm land . . . and this has been the tradition here for
years; when they do some crops get damaged and an
assessment is made and they pay. So why all the petty
attitude?
“I see what is happening today as a new dimension to
political and ethnic cleansing that if not carefully handled
may lead to other big things. The Herdsman is a Nigerian,
his rights must be exercised as a Nigerian he has free
movement like everybody else to pursue legitimate business
and he cannot be denied access to any part of the country.
“I am a Fulani man, my ancestors were in the bush, but we
find reasons to settle in one place. I have cows and anytime
they cause damage I pay compensation and so that is the
way it will be.
“The Fulani man is a Nigerian he has rights like any other
Nigerian he works freely to access legitimate economic
resources of this country like land. Land is common thing
for all Nigerians. In fact, what really amazes me there is no
Nigerian I know that works as hard as a herdsman; he
sleeps on the branches of trees he has no permanent
abode, he toils day and night with his animals,” Abdullahi said
