The National Coordinator of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria in Benue State, Garus Gololo, has insinuated that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, short changed Nigeria while overseeing privatization of the government assets as the country’s vice president.
Golo made the allegation in reaction to Atiku campaign media organisation claiming killings of farmers by suspected Fulani herdsmen would be on the rise if President Muhammadu Buhari was re-elected next year.
“I am disappointed in Atiku because he had already divided Nigeria even when he has not come to power. Buhari has nothing to do with herdsmen, he is a Nigerian and it is the people of Nigeria that voted him into power and l believe they will still vote him again in 2019.”
“Nigerians should ask Atiku about the N68.8bn proceeds from NEPA which he sold when he superintended over the privatisation process of the then NEPA.
“People should talk about the power plants or the money he raised from the sale of that public asset. As far as I am concerned, Atiku is not a credible candidate to contest the coming presidential election in Nigeria because he is so sentimental and if they vote him in as president, he would divide Nigeria the more,” he said.
