Miyetti Allah advocating anarchy – Dr. Junaid

In his reaction, Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed described the statement credited to the National President of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo as advocating anarchy.
He said: “I am a Fulani man but I don’t know him and he cannot speak for any Fulani man dead or alive, because that man or whoever he is cannot claim to speak on my behalf. “Secondly, what he is advocating essentially is anarchy.
He is trying to deny the powers of the modern state as recognized by international law that you as an individual who is a citizen of a certain area, claims to be an indigene of a certain area, you are entitled to certain rights and privileges.
“But at the same time, you must also accept that there are other people’s rights and privileges that you should not deny them. So saying that they have the right to occupy wherever they want to occupy is sheer nonsense.
“Frankly speaking, the Miyyeti Allah of today, I don’t know how it started, but the ones I see with their activities and statements is a very dangerous organization, they are anti-democratic. They are more or less punching sticks, and almost all of them involved in states and local governments, some of the emirate, and all that.
“They are beholden to some certain traditional rulers who are anti-democratic, and the traditional rulers use them for purposes of political blackmail. They want to decide political power and they don’t want to leave their traditional titles in bogus gown and turbans.
They would rather use some dubious faceless organizations through which they want to exercise political powers, and that is undemocratic.
“So he is talking nonsense, and I don’t know whether he is a Nigerian or if he is not a Nigerian. But certainly, nobody who is a citizen of this country as lawfully recognized by international law can make this kind of absolutely irresponsible statement. He speaks for nobody.
