The Association of Matasan Fulani of Nigeria (AMFON) has
appealed to Fulani herdsmen, youth and women to come out en mass to show support and vote for Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election.
Leaders and members of the AMFON from Kogi, Kwara, Edo, Delta, Niger, Kaduna, Katsina states and other parts of Nigeria took the decision to support the presidential ambition of Tinubu during a meeting held in Okene, Kogi state, Tuesday.
The president of AMFON, Alhaji Shaibu Haruna Sogiji , who spoke to newsmen after the meeting, stated that the decision was in recognition of Tinubu’s contribution to the development of the country and his consistent support for the person and administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said, “What we are doing here is to tell the whole world that those of us here are behind Tinubu and that we should not be afraid of few elements blackmailing him.”
The Kogi state chairman of AMFON, Mallam Adamu Tukur, in his remarks called on leaders of the Fulani in the state to immediately commence enlightenment campaign on the decision to support Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
He also enjoined them to prevail on members to collect their permanent voters cards to enable them cast their votes in the forthcoming elections.
