The Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, has come out to condemn a statement credited to the National President of Miyetti allah Kautal Hore, saying the Fulani will rule forever.
Akintola distanced the group from the statement, stating that Nigeria was for everybody and belonged to no particular ethnic group or tribe.
He also strongly warned Miyetti Allah to desist from comments that can incite ethnic war and violence in the society.
The statement reads, “We call on Miyetti Allah to confirm or deny the alleged statement. We affirm that Nigeria belongs to no particular tribe and every ethnic group has a stake in the Nigerian project. Leadership is therefore not the birthright of any ethnicity.
“We appeal to Nigerians to ignore the statement allegedly made by Miyetti Allah and to allow the group to make clarifications. We call on leaders to avoid divisive, explosive and provocative statements.”
