NOMAD VIGILANTE: PDP ACCUSES NASARAWA GOVERNOR OF DOUBLE STANDARDS
Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
The Peoples Democratic Party,(PDP) chapter in Nasarawa State has questioned the authenticity of Governor Abdullahi Sule’s activities, charging him of applying double standards in the formation of the controversial Fulani Vigilante group that was recently stationed in the state.
The Chairman of Nasarawa PDP, Francis Orogu, expressed his worries in a meeting at his home where he was joined by 38 recently freed female protestors from prison.
Orogu said that the governor subsequently distanced himself from the effort following the arrest of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore’s National President, Abdullahi Bodejo, even though he had previously acknowledged the formation and activation of the Fulani vigilante outfit in an interview on January 19.
“Sule, had, in an interview by Seun Okinbaloye on Channels Television on January 19, stated clearly that the Fulani vigilante outfit had been formed and that it had started work in Nasarawa.
“He said the outfit was set up to complement the security agents, to help fish out some Fulani militants in the state,” Orogu stated.
The PDP Chairman accused the governor of double standards, describing it as a breach of trust with the Fulani community.
He argued that such inconsistencies contribute to the rise in terrorism, as leaders allegedly support unlawful activities covertly while denouncing them publicly during the day.
Miyetti Allah had inaugurated 1,144 nomad vigilante security outfits as part of its strategy to address kidnapping and other criminal activities in Nasarawa, asserting that the vigilante outfit is aimed at eliminating undesirable elements within their community.
