A Northern Elder Statesman who believes in the Unity and corporate existence of Nigeria as a peaceful and undivided country, Mallam Umar Mustapha Madawaki (Otumba) fingered out Achadu Gabriel as a hit man in the forefront drumming the needless war drums.
Umar who is popularly known as Otumba washed down the statement credited to Achadu to have issued a statement that the Hausa had given the Fulanis a quit notice to vacate their land.
Umar said Achadu is a hatchet man, anarchist, tribal jungoist, and a Frontline war monger who is well known to always carry out a demeaning job for economic reasons.
According to him, Achadu as a messenger of doom has failed at this point in time over his mission to create discontent amongst the Hausa and Fulani, and his evil intentions will never succeed.
“We know your plans, we have de-coded you and your sponsors. The Hausa/Fulani are united not by tribal inclination but by religious connotations. Nothing, I mean nothing can change that, not your collective hypocrisy and subversive activities.” Umar said
Umar emphasizes that Kidnapping and other related criminalities are not the monopoly of one tribe. Those who took an interest and dared the Nigerian state came from various if not all tribes. The Fulanis may have dominated the venture by so many adduced reasons.
Umar explained that Kidnapping activities cannot expunge other tribes, nor does it make it an exclusive reserve for the Fulanis.
“Mind you, the Fulanis can be found in almost every state of the federation, why are other tribes not looking at the scenario from Achadu’s perspective? Why must Achadu even champion the course of echoing the problem instead of downplaying it for peace to reign, especially considering our National security situation?
“Achadu is playing a script, with a venomous intent of kick starting the so-called tribal war so that other tribes will follow suit and the Fulani as a tribe will be targeted nationally. Only an insane fool will expose the innocent lives of more than 17 million people for no reason other than hate.
“The Fulanis were at least before their recent unexplainable behavioral volta-face, judged as the shyest, most loyal, most communal, drug-free, highly sociable, and crime-free people, in addition to being highly educated, progressive, organized, and contributors to the National economy.
“For over 100 years, they singlehandedly produce meat and milk, from the Western Sudanese states to what is now Nigeria, undisputably the most important needs of humanity for survivability.” He said
He blamed Achadu stooped low by becoming a stooge for some enemies of Nigeria and was ignorant to know that kidnapping is not the only negative vice prevalent in this country. Social vices like armed robbery, political murders, and stealing of Government resources with impunity remain the negative vices that ravaged and are still ravaging the fabric of our Nation
“All of these did not warrant any tribal wars except kidnapping and banditry, an all pervasive, all inclusive crime for every tribe, men and women, young and old. The grand plan by the political elites to eliminate the Fulani as a race has been in existence for so many years. The systematic yet one-sided exposure of the race over the years is unfair, anti-social, and unacceptable.” He added
Umar during an interview with our Yola correspondent Said the likes of Achadu should be arrested and tried in a competent court, convicted for crimes relating to Fuelling social upheavals, tribal hatred, political discontent, and or mutiny.
“These types of individuals are a menace to society, they do not wish the country nor its citizens well. Freedom of expression is guaranteed, in so far as the utterances are guided and are in the interest of all or at least the majority, otherwise, such freedom should not be guaranteed after they are expressed.” He stated
