The leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has resolved that 20 million members of the group across Nigeria will vote enmass for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 election.
The organization, which endorsed Buhari at its 5th Annual General meeting, held today, Thursday in Abuja, said that the administration of Buhari has impacted positively on the lives of their members.
The National Secretary of MACBAN, Alhaji Baba Uthman Ngelzarma, who addressed news men after the Congress, said that the decision to support President Buhari was a decision at the Congress, adding that their members, numbering over 20 million in Nigeria took the collective decision.
“We represent over 20 million members across the country, here in attendance we have over 2000 people who have come from all corners of the country, we have representatives from each local governments, and you heard their view, they have declared their interest on Muhammadu Buhari to move to the next level, this is the majority decision of the Congress, we as leaders, we don’t have option other than to follow.
“MACBAN frowns at the sensational and negative stereotyping of herders who are doing a legitimate economic activity that contributes to the gross domestic product of the country and ensuring food security.”
He called on the present government to stamp out cases of impunity in relation to the killings of innocent citizens who are caught in the conflict.
