ABEOKUTA – Ogun State chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association has endorsed the candidature of Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election slated for next month.
The association also said that their support for the governorship election in the state would be for whoever is being backed by national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dapo Abiodun is the APC candidate in the state while Governor Ibikunle Amosun, who is also of the same party, has declared his support for Abiodun Akinlade of the Allied People’s Movement (APM).
The endorsement came on Wednesday when Abiodun made a brief stop-over at Sabo Market, located at Rounder, Aiyetoro/Imeko Road, during his ward-to-ward campaign tour of Abeokuta-North Local Government Area of the state.
Mohammed Kabir, South-West leader of the association, said: “There is no doubt that our support for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari is unwavering. Likewise, our support will also go for any governorship candidate that the national leadership of the APC picked to fly the ticket and for whoever President Buhari raises his hands up, that we will throw our weight behind in the forthcoming general elections.”
On their plight in the Sabo Market, Kabir, who is also the Seriki Fulani in the state, inundated Abiodun with several challenges confronting them.
Kabir appealed to the APC governorship candidate to help his members with the construction of a modern market that would be equipped with water to feed their cattle, if elected as the state governor.
“Our greatest challenge here is scarcity of water to feed our cattle. We would appreciate when you get into office that you will help us with a model that is in Lafenwa here so that we can feed our cattle. Not only that, we need a modern market for our association”, he said.
While responding, Abiodun, who had earlier addressed crowd at Totoro and Lafenwa, both in Abeokuta, promised to look into all the requests and do the needful when he gets into office.
He said his administration is going to be a promise-keeping regime and assured the Fulani community of his commitment to giving equal treatment to all inhabitants of the state, regardless of their ethnicity or religion.
