Fulbe Group Endorse Tinubu, Set 5 Point Agenda as Business Leaders Cast Vote of Confidence, Underscore Challenges

The Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has recieved endorsement from the Fulbe United for Peace and Development (FUPD) at an event jointly organized with Arewa New Agenda held at the auditorium of the Abuja International Conference Centre on Sunday. 

The event, drawing participants of fulbe extraction from all over the country, is part of the series of strategic engagements the Presidential hopeful is having with various stakeholders including religious, business, artisans, manufacturers and professionals ahead of the February 25th Presidential polls. 

While endorsing the APC candidate based on the common grounds of his track record and sterling performance as former Governor of Lagos State, the occasion brainstormed on the challenges faced by the fulbe in Nigeria. Through their national leadership under Ardo Aliyu Liman Bobboi, the group set 5 important themes for the APC standard bearer to address as soon as he gets into office. These include the set up of a ministry for livestock affairs, revival of extant  grazing laws, facilitation of environmental identity, national identity card and support for nomadic education and other education programmes of the federal government exclusively for the fulbe. 

Responding, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu assured to "look into all the demands raised by the fulbe." He urged the assembly to "mobilize their members, family, and friends and vote for the man who knows the road."

In their remarks, Sen. Ahmad Abubakar Moallahyidi, the coordinator, Arewa New Agenda, stated that it was a "gathering to support a government that cares for the fulbe." Many papers were presented by renowned academics, including Dr. Aliyu Tilde, Prof. Ahmad Danfulani, Amb. Haruna Jika Ardo, among others. In attendance at the occasion were the APC flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, Governors Abdullahi Ganduje and Badaru Abubakar of Kano and Jigawa States respectively. Malam Nuhu Ribadu, director and members of the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations such as former minister Dr. Aliyu Modibbo Umar, Barr. Abdullahi Mukhtar and Malam Jalalu Arabi. 

In tandem with the fulbe tradition, distribution of Kolanut was made to the dignitaries and participants marking highpoint of the occasion. 

In a related development, the APC candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu, has met with Northern entrepreneurs and emerging business leaders at an interactive dinner held late Sunday at the Ladi Kwali Hall of Abuja Continental Hotel. The event follows his series of engagements with relevant stakeholders ahead of the presidential elections holding in the coming days. Many old and young vibrant voices from the participants were heard, and presentations made for the presidential candidate. Some of the speakers at the dinner include Alhaji Umaru Kwairanga (Sarkin Fulani Gombe), Alhaji Rabiu Isyaka Rabiu, Maimuna Yaya Arabi (founder, Tozali TV/magazine), Mansurah Isa among many other industry players from the oil and gas, agric commodities, power etc. 

In his remarks, Tinubu assures of his ability to think  and scientifically turn around the fortunes of Nigeria for the better. He took pride in his track record as Governor of Lagos State insisting that he has the capacity and if given the chance he will definitely "put together, a network of investors" for the business community to thrive. He solicited their support to win the presidential elections so that the country can benefit from the collective vision and efforts of progressive leadership.

By Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) It is disheartening, Bello El-Rufai, as a federal lawmaker, entrusted with representing the people, for resorting such behaviour, attempting to obstruct the lawful functions of the kaduna State House of Assembly.

The man that plunged the state in deep fire but God pass the idiot.  Our greatest pain is that there were few people that never saw anything bad about all the nefarious activities of that satanic agent ...
