A veteran journalist and prolific columnist, Akogun Tola Adeniyi has vouched for the integrity of Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar that he (Sultan) is not please with the conduct of few criminal elements of Fulani stock tarnishing the image of the entire Fulani nation and being pampered by the Federal Government.
Penpushing reports that, Adeniyi made this clear in a statement describing the Sultan as a bridge builder who is admired and respected wherever he goes and he, in turn, is respectful and self respecting.
‘I can bet my bottom dollar that the Sultan, urbane officer and gentleman educated and civilized is not happy with the way things are going on with the way a few criminal elements of Fulani stock are tarnishing the image of the entire Fulani nation and being unabashedly pampered by the Abuja government’, he wrote
The renowned Nigerian respected journalist and former Managing Director of Nigerian Tribune newspapers emphasized that, if every Fulani leader were like him (Sa’ad Abubakar) nobody would be talking of breakup.
‘The Sultan travels freely to all the nooks and crannies of Nigeria meeting with his royal counterparts everywhere without airs or chips on his shoulders. He is admired and respected wherever he goes and he, in turn, is respectful and self respecting. If every Fulani leader were like him nobody would be talking of breakup’.
Penpushing further reports that, Adeniyi, however, called on the Sultan to use his influence to ensure that the Fulani herdsmen imbibe modernization and modernity and establish ranches and agro-allied industrial complex in their localities and states of origin and stop using cows as agent of national provocation.
‘But His Majesty must use his towering influence to ensure that the Fulani herdsmen imbibe modernization and modernity and establish ranches and agro-allied industrial complex in their localities and states of origin and stop using cows as agent of national provocation’, he said.
‘He should go further to ensure that in his life time the few privileged cattle owners should stop punishing the less privileged Fulanis, deprived of education, sent to trek hundreds of miles following cows and sharing residences with beasts in the forest. May Allah continue to prosper him and grant him longevity and robust health’, Adeniyi wrote
