The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has said President Muhammadu Buhari and his government would be held responsible should any northerner fall victim of the consequences of the concerns they raised about the safety of Fulani herdsmen in the southern part of the country.

Buhari had told Fulani herdsmen in the southern part of the country to ignore northern elders' statement urging them to leave southern Nigeria.

However, not convinced by the assurance of safety from the presidency, CNG's spokesperson, Abdul-Aziz Suleiman, said in a statement made available in Abuja that while they welcomed the assurance by the president, they were not oblivious of the fact that the lives of their kinsmen were not secure in the southern part of the country.


“CNG wholeheartedly welcomes the assurance given by Mr. President and his government to protect and guarantee the safety of all Nigerians anywhere they are, including the threatened herdsmen in the South.

“We, however, wish to remind Mr. President and the government that northerners would hold them fully responsible should any one of them fall victim of the consequences of the concerns we raised,” he said.


Suleiman said he was amazed at the denial of southern leaders that they did not declare war on herders following the killing of the daughter of an Afenifere chieftain by those he called "unknown assassins".


The group, in conjunction with the Northern Elders Forum, had asked Fulani herdsmen to immediately return to the north if their security was no longer guaranteed in the southern part of the country.


The statement read: “Recall that on July 11 2019 in response to reactions that trailed our earlier submissions, we issued a statement acknowledging the committed concern of the Northern Governors Forum and the Northern Elders Forum in bringing an end to the tensions instigated around the farmers-herders problems.


“In that response, we indicated our acceptance of the invitation for discussions by the leadership of the two forums as a result of which a meeting with the northern elders was fixed for Tuesday, 15 July 2019.


“We went to the meeting with a prepared position which we presented to the leadership of Northern Elders Forum in which we highlighted the utterances made by the southern leaders including decisions taken by some notable political, religious and cultural leaders of the South.


“We capped our submission by pointing out the dangerous war bells sounded by the southern leaders that tended to instigate violence against the herders living in the South following the killing of the daughter of the Afenifere leader, Mrs. Olakunrin Fasoranti.


“We then politely called the attention of the elders to the imminent attack the Fulani were exposed to in the South while the federal authorities remained silent on the matter.


“We made a request to the elders by precisely saying that based on the our observations and the fact that the instigation of hatred against the Fulani persists, we feel obliged to advise the leadership of the Northern Elders Forum to consider calling on the Fulani to forego their right to live and flourish anywhere in the south and relocate to their various states in the north to ensure their safety noting the inherent return value of such denial.”

According to him, Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, responded by acknowledging the concern.

“We are worried about their wellbeing. If it is true that their safety can no longer be assured, we rather have them back in areas where their safety is guaranteed. The bottom line is that their safety is far more important than their stay there.

This is a country we all wish to keep together and not at the expense of other sections,” Abdullahi was quoted to have said.


He added, “Surprisingly, barely 24 hours after Fulani herders were accused of killing Mrs Olakunrin, leaders of southern groups such as PANDEF, Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo and a certain Middle Belt forum issued a joint statement tending to deny having made inflammatory remarks capable of instigating violence against the Fulani in the South or that the security of the herders in the South was not in danger as to have warranted concern from the North.”

Good! After all nobody has been held responsible for the many people who have lost their lives with the atrocious activities of these killers.

So the Fulanis have now acknowledge that there are some wars they cant win abi? Meanwhile, what have informed this their persistent intent on withdrawing their members from southern Nigeria? What do they have up their sleeves?

Dumb fvcks

Bunch of savages.

I am yet to hear of any death of Fulani terrorists in the South. Meanwhile the terrorists are the ones killing southerners in the same South and they are protected by the Chief Terrorist in Abuja.


It is time for the Southern leaders to also issue a warning to Buhari to be held responsible for any further deaths of southerners.

Nonsense!!


Meanwhile, I read that police have arrested innocent Yoruba farmers and artisans for the death of Mrs. Olakunrin. Wonderful!!

Beremx:

Abeg make I join you too sis.

Other tribes do their businesses and conduct themselves peacefully in the north, what makes it so difficult for the Fulani's to do same down here ?

The so-called NEF and CNG are concerned about the safety of their fulani people and not concerned about the lives of the farmers and innocent people killed by the herdsmen? Lord Lugard may your soul never find rest.

Basterds parasites

Gbam. Buhari is just in trouble. Even his own brothers are still pulling stunts. I don't envy any of these leaders because it is a hell lot of work to rulethis nation. Too many self inflict wahala.

If you need a beautiful ride to make you the envy of your city, then my signature has one that is going for the best price. just visit my signature or profile.

Its so glaring that these heartless idiots are the ones instigating the lifeless one to make wrong decisions.

Now they are threatening to hold him responsible so he'd get scared or what?

After now you'll hear operation cobra dance in the south.

Does Buhari care?

Abi how Amaechi take talk the thing again sef...

Does the president listen? Does he read?

LET ME ADD MORE.....
The whole problem is a culmination of the inefficiency and insensitivity of the govt to our diversity. it is a consequence of bad leadership
if only the govt have not been paying herdsmen to stop killing
if only the govt had prosecuted the killers
if only the govt had not shown it has soft spot for the herdsmen
if only the govt had not meddled into cattle colony
if only the govt had not tried to force RUGA on us
if only the govt had not shown nepotism
if only the govt had not appointed only one tribe to man the whole security architecture
if only the govt had not divided us along "5% and 97%"
if only the govt had listened to the voice of reasoning
if only the govt had been fatherly to the whole country irrespective of who voted for him
if only the govt had been fair to all
if only he had come with a plain mindset
if only he had practiced "i belong to nobody but everyone"
if only he had not polarized us
if only he had the whole country as his constituency
if only he had not told the UN to concentrate on the north only
if only he can be a true statesman
if only he can love us all

some wise nigerians saw this a long time ago and warned but they were labelled with all kinds of names like: looters,wailers and unpatriotic citizens
Now the chicken has come home to roost ... but unfortunately the same rain is beating us all

if you like hold Mohammed responsible no one cares

How come nobody noticed that these guys said nothing about the kidnappings and theft done by the marauders ?

Story for the gods!

Story story - STORY

this people are planning something bliv me .. I see a repeat of 1966 not the war but the massacres

I choose not to comment on matters that concern herdsmen/buhari again.
