Sultan of Sokoto urges Buhari to call them to help out
if he has failed
The Sultan of Sokoto , Alhaji Sa ’ad Abubakar III, has told President
Muhammadu Buhari to consult him and other stakeholders if he cannot solve the
security problems of the country.
He said if Buhari had failed, he should call them to help out, adding
that it was unfair to label all Fulani as killers.
He said that criminality must not be mixed with ethnicity.
The Sultan said this at the public presentation of a book, Dynamics of
Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences in Abuja yesterday.
According to the monarch, “We don’t accept criminals in our midst. We
must fish them (the killer herdsmen) out and deal with them. The worst word you
can hear nowadays is the Fulani issue.
“There are millions of Fulani who don’t even know what a cow is. I am a
Fulani and I am not a herder. I am a proud Fulani. But everyone believes that
when you see a Fulani, he is a killer
“It is not true. So, for anyone to label any particular ethnicity is wrong.
Let’s give criminals their ideal name; not Christian criminals, not Fulani
criminals, not Muslim criminals. If the government has failed, let them call us
to come and help out.
“Uthman Dan Fodio founded the caliphate many years ago. He said
conscience is an open wound, only truth can heal it. We must take a negative
inner feeling away from us. We must not allow our biases to prevail over
truth.”
