The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) has begged President Bola to consider their members for an appointment in his cabinet.
MACBAN’ Southeast zonal leader, Allhaji Gidado Siddikki, said the call became necessary because they had not seen any sign that they would be considered, despite praying for and voting for TInubu during the February 25 presidential election.
Siddikki said:
“We are demanding for appointments from Tinubu’s government. Even if it is as office sweepers, we are okay with it. All we want is for us to be part of the government at the centre.
“During the election, to my knowledge, my people voted for President Tinubu because his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari, told my people to vote for him and they all did so.
“We prayed, supported, endorsed and did everything politically possible to ensure his victory. So he should not abandon us. In the appointments the President has made so far, no Miyetti Allah member is among, including the recently-screened ministerial nominees.
“In addition to the N8,000 proposed palliative and other benefits of the government, he should appoint us too, even as sweepers at the Presidential Villa.”
