The Socio-cultural group Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore has urged President Bola Tinubu to consider dialogue as the “best option in resolving the political crisis in the Niger Republic.”

The group noted during its Annual General Meeting in Abuja stressed that any form of military action would have “devastating consequences in the Sahel and sub-Saharan Africa with negative impact on Fulani pastoralists particularly.”

The letter was reportedly co-signed by its National President, Abdullahi Bodejo and National Secretary, Saleh Alhassan. the group also urge for more creation “Ministry of Nomadic Affairs” by state governors.

“Delegates expressed appreciation to the Governor of Niger State, Muhammed Bago, for the creation of the Ministry of Nomadic Affairs and called on other states to emulate the positive gesture.

“Delegates totally condemn the continuous profiling of the Fulani race by some media organisations, particularly the social media and urge the press to investigate the veracity of their stories before going to press or risk legal actions.

“Delegates frown upon the continuous extrajudicial killing of Fulani pastoralists by security agencies in the country and call on the National Human Rights Commission to investigate these atrocities and ensure Justice is served.”
