He said, “What I will do, I will not say it here, but I will do
everything possible to make sure I protect you and lend support to
you because I know you mean well.
“Through time and history, you have been seen to be cajoled, and
lampooned but you remained humane, you remained simple, you don’t
show so much aggression and of course, that humility is always what
we recognized and this is what a character that should always try
to show.
“Please, don’t carry the AK-47 that I made a figurative allusion
to. Try to make sure that you remain peaceful.”
The governor said that he has no apology for kicking against the
profiling of Fulani herders as criminals.
He said that his administration is aware of the activities of
Miyetti Allah and other Fulani organisations in promoting peaceful
coexistence in the state, promoting the well-being of the
pastoralists, wealth creation, and conflict mediation especially
the state and the nation in general.
