A group, the Native Indigenous Hausa People of Hausaland, has pleaded with President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to save Hausas from Fulanis, who they described as “terrorists… treacherous, greedy, wicked and insatiable”.
This was contained in an open letter dated 7th July 2023, and authored by Kalthoum Alumbe Jitami, behalf of the Native Indigenous Hausa People of Hausaland.
In the letter, the group asked Tinubu “to be very wary of the Fulani Elites, Clerics and Monarchs… [who] never meant well for the Hausa people particularly and Nigerians in general”.
Jitami also told the president to ignore former governor of Zamfara State, Ahmed Sani Yerima Bakura, who was recently advocating for negotiations and Amnesty for terrorists/militia that he and his fellow gang of Fulani elites and monarchs have been sponsoring.
He noted and strongly condemned the initiative, saying that the actions of Fulanis are treasonable offenses.
This, according to him, is ‘because their aim is to forcefully displace Nigerians of their land through killing, murder, rape and kidnap for ransom, with the aim of establishing a Fulani nation against the Nigerian State and enthrone a government in the model of Iran and Afghanistan’.
The group indicted their sponsors, including former President Muhammadu Buhari, his Fulani born Ministers like Gen. Dan Ali, former Fulani governors like Mallam Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, as well as Cleric Sheikh Ahmed Gumi.
Jitami also indicted Fulani nationality organizations like Miyetti Allah and the Fulani Nationality Movement (aka FUNAM), noting that they have severally declared that they want to convert Nigeria to a Fulani enclave.
He warned Tinubu never to attempt to appease Fulanis in any shape or form, saying that it will be counterproductive, a waste of time and self-induced vulnerability to himself and his government.
The letter reads:
“Mr. President Sir,
We reaffirm to you our unwavering love and support for you and the success of your presidency.
We hereby reiterate our earlier counsel to you to be very wary of the Fulani Elites, Clerics and Monarchs. For they never meant well for the Hausa people particularly and Nigerians in general.
They remain unrelenting as ever to take over this country by any means possible. They remain ever treacherous, greedy, wicked and insatiable.
Don’t ever attempt to appease them in any shape or form because it will be counterproductive: a waste of time and self-induced vulnerability to your good self and the good government that you are administering.
Up to this moment the Hausaland and People have remained under siege by the Fulani terrorist/militia with the collaboration of their Elites, Clerics and Monarchs.
Consequently, we therefore want to draw your attention to the following:
- A former governor of Zamfara state in the person of Ahmed Sani Yerima Bakura was recently out advocating and campaigning for Negotiations and Amnesty from your government, for the benefits of the very same terrorists/militia that he and his fellow gang of fulani elites and monarchs have been sponsoring.
Please note that we strongly and unequivocally condemn this initiative because of the following reasons:
i. Their actions are treasonable offenses because their aim is to forcefully displace Nigerians of their land through killing, murder, rape, kidnap for ransom; with the aim of establishing fulani nation against the Nigerian State, and enthrone a government in the model of Iran and Afghanistan.
This takeover aim has severally been affirmed by their Principal sponsor former President Muhammadu Buhari, his Fulani born Ministers like Gen. Dan Ali, Former Fulani governors like Mallam Nasir Elrufai of Kaduna and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi.
Fulani nationality organizations like Miyetti Allah and the Fulani Nationality Movement (aka FUNAM) also have severally declared that they want to convert Nigeria as a Fulani.
One of their barefaced Supporter and Cleric Sheikh Ahmed Gumi has been in the forefront of the campaign for justification of their actions.
There are volumes of videos and recorded statements of them in the public media that give credence to this assertion.
There is none therefore and can never be any justification to ever contemplate negotiations or amnesty for these enemies of humanity and the Nigerian State.
- His attempts to compare the actions of the fulani establishments’ sponsored brigandage, as being similar to the past youths’ agitations of the Niger Delta is simply adding insults upon the injuries. Contrary to the fulanis: the Niger Deltans were reacting to destructions by population from oil companies operating in their region with little or no compensations for them; considering the environmental and social harm they were suffering as the consequences. But on the part of the fulani, they are Immigrants who were accommodated, indigenised and pampered by governments of the Nigerian States and Country, since 1804 to date. They became so comfortable, greedy and insatiable that they decided to pick up arms against the various states of their accommodation and the entire people of Nigeria. They only deserve to Surrender and Face the Laws of Nigeria or be Killed, Arrested and Prosecuted.
Mr President Sir, considering items 1 and 2 above, we hereby very strongly advise you not to yield to the antics of these Fulani Sponsors of Treason through their Ethnic Terrorism as being championed by Ahmed Sani Yerima Bakura the former governor of Zamfara State and his Cohorts acting in the open or behind doors.
We strongly recommend and unequivocally support the deployment of full FIRE POWER of the government against the terrorists/militia that may lead to their arrests or liquidation and prosecution.
God bless your presidency and the federal government of Nigeria.”
