According to the report from the Sun, the National President of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Alhaji Abdullahi Bello Bodejo expressed appreciation for President Tinubu’s recent establishment of the Ministry of Livestock Development, a long-awaited move that previous administrations, including that of a Fulani president, had failed to accomplish.
Bodejo emphasized that the creation of this ministry under a Yoruba president demonstrates Tinubu’s commitment to addressing the needs of the Fulani people.However, he also expressed reservations about the minister, Idi Mukhtar Maha, suggesting that he may not be effectively carrying out his responsibilities. Bodejo recounted an instance when he was invited to meet with the minister in Zone Four, raising questions about the transparency and accessibility of the minister’s office.According to Bello Bodejo, “If a Fulani man insults President Tinubu, I will ask the person, ‘our Fulani brother was the president before Tinubu, did he create this ministry for us?’ This is a Yoruba man and yet has given the Fulani what they have been yearning for.
I expect the minister, Idi Mukhtar Maha to do the right thing. Two days ago, I received a phone call from somebody asking me to come to Zone Four to meet with the minister. I don’t know the day the minister office was moved to Zone Four. So, I didn’t go.”
