The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has asserted that several Fulani people have been killed, attacked and treated differently in Nigeria.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor stated this during a meeting with the leadership of the Fulani organization, Tapital Pulaku Njode Jam Nigeria, on Tuesday at his palace.
Addressing the group led by Modibbo Jada, Emir Sanusi indicated his willingness to resolve the ongoing crises involving the Fulani community in the nation, aiming to establish a lasting solution to these issues.
He emphasized the urgent need for the government to implement a definitive resolution to the Fulani crises in the country.
He said, “But this can be done only if the Federal Government will give me full support to achieve my mission because they have the might and what it takes to make my strategy work, while I will provide the ideas and the methodologies of how to go about it.
“No doubt, Fulanis in Nigeria have suffered heavy attacks, isolation, killing and destruction and the rustling of their cows; these rejections indeed were carried all across the country and something needs to be done to arrest the situation. However, it is not untrue that there are some bad eggs amongst the Fulanis who have thrown the good names of the People into the trash and subjected them to what they are suffering today.
“This is the time that the Government, together with us, will have a permanent solution to the crises, more specifically between them and the farmers and also where they are suspected to be carrying out other crimes. I, on my own, am ready to help the Government achieve the desired mission of having peace and prosperity among the Fulanis and, indeed, other Nigerians; their suffering should stop; I believe together we will do it.”
In a statement, Madibo Jada, the leader of the Fulani group, expressed that they had come to the palace to pledge their loyalty to the Emir upon his second ascension as their leader, a position he was appointed to long ago by the Lamido of Adamawa.
“Our members are mainly in the bushes, and if today I asked only the youth wing of our group to come here, this palace would be too small for us; we have members all across the 36 states of Nigeria”, Jada explained, stating that they believed that Emir Sanusi has what it takes to correct their battered names and set the records straight of who they are and their contributions to the country’s socio-economic development.
