APC brought in Fulani from Mali, Sierra Leone, Senegal, others to win 2015 election — Baraje reveals
The Fulani causing security problems in the country were brought in to help facilitate victory in the 2015 election, Baraje said
Abubakar Kawu Baraje, the former National Chairman of the breakaway faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that formed the nucleus of the current ruling party has revealed that they traced the origin of the current insecurity in the country to the influx of Fulani from neighboring countries like Sierra Leone, Mali, Senegal, Niger and Chad into the country for election purposes in 2015.
He said this in Ilorin as part of activities to mark his 70th birthday anniversary.
According to him, the Fulani causing security problems in the country were brought in to help facilitate victory in the 2015 election.
“After the election, the Fulani have refused to leave. I and other like minds wrote and warned those we started APC with that this was going to happen but nobody listened,” he explained
He also backed self-help initiatives of the south west governors, stating that responses of Sunday Igboho to the herdsman menace were necessary because the Federal Government failed in its principal responsibility to secure life and property.
Baraje said that the ruling party was only wasting its time.
He said the Fulani men causing havoc in the country are not aboriginal to Nigeria.
“We are not asking the right question on how the same Fulani we have been living with suddenly turned out a menace.
“We also must ask how they had access to their guns,” the ex-party chairman asked.
Baraje stated the Fulani men wreaking havoc in the country are not the Nigerian Fulani.
“The security agencies have not been open about the nature of the problem.
