2019: Atiku is not Fulani says Tapgun NOVEMBER 12, 2018 Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun, a former governor of Plateau State, has said Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential hopeful is not from the Fulani extraction. Tapgun who spoke to our correspondent in Jos at the weekend said most Nigerians are confusing the identity of Atiku to be Fulani, but the PDP presidential aspirant hails from the tribe of Jada Local Government Area in Adamawa state “Atiku is not Fulani, he is from Jada tribe and his mother from Chamba community in Adamawa state”. The Daily Times recalls that since the emergence of Atiku as the PDP presidential flag bearer ahead of the 2019 elections, Nigerians have mistaken his origin to be Fulani, wondering what difference will it make in addressing the gruesome murder perpetrated by the Fulani herdsmen in recent times, especially since the incumbent leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari who has been accused of paying lips service to the atrocities committed by the killer herdsmen, since he took over office as president in 2015. However, Tapgun who was also the Nigerian Ambassador to Kenya said Atiku is well experienced in fighting insecurity considering the experience he gathered in eight years as Vice President under Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. When asked if president Buhari will concede defeat should he loose the 2019 election, the Plateau State former governor said the president will have no choice than to accept the will of Nigerians. “Buhari will have to concede defeat if he loses the 2019 election, because the whole world is watching. Jonathan has set example and I don’t think Buhari will do anything to contrary to what Jonathan has done. Maybe he will do it lately when he sees that things are getting out of hand, but Jonathan took a quick decision in his own time to save the country from plunging into war”. While still answering questions on insecurity from our correspondent, the former Federal Minister of Industry under ex President Olusegun Obasanjo said “you don’t need to have a military background to be able to fight insecurity”. He said, “The solution to the insecurity problem we are facing is not whether you are an ex military man or not, it has nothing to do with it. Buhari is an ex military General but Boko Haram has increased in power and strength as well as Fulani bandits”, Tapgun said. Fidelis Naanmiap Tapgun was elected governor of Plateau State during the Nigerian Third Republic. Later he was Nigerian Ambassador to Kenya. He was appointed Federal Minister of Industry by President Olusegun Obasa.

Who cares !!! We must still vote him

Lol. Are they trying to change Atiku's ethnicity because they consider his Fulani one a burden? Some things people will do in the name of playing politics sef.

Whether he's from one tribe in parkistan or Afghanistan, we don't care, all we know is that he is our next president. A dullard must go back to daura.

What matters is that he doesn't share extreme ideologies like the dullard.

We in the middle belt don't necessarily hate the Fulani's, we only hate the likes of Buhari, El Rufai and any who in their dreams think the can foist their ways of life on us.
