The Nasarawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has questioned the sincerity of Governor Abdullahi Sule’s actions, accusing him of double standards in the establishment of the contentious Fulani Vigilante outfit recently deployed in the state.
Francis Orogu, the Chairman of Nasarawa PDP, voiced his concerns during a meeting at his residence, where he received 38 women protesters recently released from prison.
Orogu pointed out that despite admitting to the formation and activation of the Fulani vigilante outfit in an interview on January 19, the governor later distanced himself from the initiative after the arrest of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore’s National President, Abdullahi Bodejo.
“Sule, had, in an interview by Seun Okinbaloye on Channels Television on January 19, stated clearly that the Fulani vigilante outfit had been formed and that it had started work in Nasarawa.
“He said the outfit was set up to complement the security agents, to help fish out some Fulani militants in the state,” Orogu stated.
The PDP Chairman accused the governor of double standards, describing it as a breach of trust with the Fulani community.
He argued that such inconsistencies contribute to the rise in terrorism, as leaders allegedly support unlawful activities covertly while denouncing them publicly during the day.
Newspot had reported that Miyetti Allah had inaugurated 1,144 nomad vigilante security outfits as part of its strategy to address kidnapping and other criminal activities in Nasarawa, asserting that the vigilante outfit is aimed at eliminating undesirable elements within their community.
