Five million potential Fulani
voters, under the aegis APC Fulani Nationwide Association, in Kaduna on
Tuesday endorsed the Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress,
Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), and the Kaduna State APC governorship
candidate, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, for the March 28 and April 11 general
elections.
APCFNA’s National President, Alhaji
Aliyu Shehu, at a press conference in Kaduna said the purported endorsement of
President Goodluck Jonathan by one Bello Bodejo of Meyetti
Allah Kautal Hore recently at Aso Villa, was for his personal interest.
He said the grassroots Fulani
people were not part of what he described as “the dollar endorsement.”
He explained that even the National
Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Muazu, and Political Adviser
to President Goodluck Jonathan, Prof. Rufai Alkali, who are Fulani by
tribe, could not deliver the Fulani to the President in the Saturday election.
Shehu noted that the Fulani had all
resolved to throw their weight behind Buhari and el-Rufai because of their
integrity, honesty and competence to salvage the country and Kaduna State.
The APCFNA’s boss called on Jonathan
to be wary of fake endorsements by hungry politicians.
According to him, Jonathan has
failed not only the Fulani people but the entire Nigerians, irrespective of
religion or tribe.

He added that even the Niger Delta
people, where the president hails from, aside sentiment, would not cast their
votes for Jonathan on Saturday due to non-performance.
Shehu said, “I and this large crowd
are speaking the mind of Fulani people nationwide. We represent Fulani
Development Association of Nigeria, Mobgal Fulbe and APC Fulani Nationwide
Association.
“One Bello Bodeja, who personally in
his capacity endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan and promised Mr
President 50 million votes, but we don’t have 50 million votes for Buhari
on Saturday and el-Rufai on April 11 because the entire Fulani votes
are not up to 50 million.
“We have over five million eligible
voters with PVC for Buhari on Saturday and our Fulani people in
Kaduna State will all vote for Nasir el-Rufai on April 11.
