The Fulani group responsible for purchasing the N100 million All Progressives Congress, APC, Nomination form for Goodluck Jonathan has said that may have to force him to accept it.
Recall that Naija News had reported earlier that the former president released a statement distancing himself from the nomination form which caused a stir in the country.
Reacting to Jonathan’s statement, Usman Mohammed, the Secretary of the group, vowed that the former president would not be allowed to leave the country till he accept the form, Punch reports.
“I believe you are aware of how we blocked his office in the FCT during our rallies in Kano, Suleja, Minna, and Abuja, and forced him to come out to address journalists. It is the same approach.
“If he doesn’t accept our form, we won’t let him out of Nigeria,” he said.
Mohammed stated further that Jonathan was chosen because of his patriotism and love for Nigeria.
He maintained that they were compelled to sell their livestock to raise money for the nomination forms because of the development he brought into the Fulani and Almajiri schools.
According to him: “Jonathan is a Christian with a heart of Muslim. When he was president, he supported Almajiri schools, took care of our children, and fed them in many Northern States.
“The money for the nomination form was contributed by Fulani cattle rearers in the country. We saw some media reporting Miyetti Allah or Northern Youths. That’s not true.
“Besides, he is the most experienced of all the APC presidential candidates. None of the other candidates has ever been president of the country, including Tinubu.”
