The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association has wieghed in on the Senate crisis, warning Senate President Bukola Saraki to resign his position immediately or be forced to do so.
The national coordinator of the association in Benue State, Alhaji Garus Gololo, who gave the warning in an interview with the Punch in Makurdi, said Saraki has created numerous problems for the administration of President Muhammad Buhari.
“It is on this note that we are saying that Saraki ought not to be in office again as Senate President; more so, Saraki has failed to coordinate and organise the National Assembly to offer quality legislation that Nigerians need,” Gololo was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
“Nigerians are in dire need of people that have the interest of the masses. Miyetti Allah is looking for a leader that would preside over the affairs of the Senate with ultimate respect for the executive and the judiciary, not someone like Senator Saraki that would always scheme to outdo the Presidency.
“We are now tired of Saraki’s style of leadership at the National Assembly. Therefore, we are now warning him to honourably resign his position as president of the Senate or we will force him out”, Gololo said, refusing, however, to explain how the association would remove the Senate president.
President Buhari is a patron of the Fulani herdsmen association, and he has been alleged to have been siding with them in the widespread violence mostly attributed ti Fulani herdsmen across the north-central.
