Buhari Neglected Our Need After We Voted Him In 2019 – Miyetti Allah
Baba-Othman Ngelzarma, the National President of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has discussed how pastoralists were let down by President Muhammadu Buhari despite publicly endorsing and supporting his reelection campaign in 2019.
Ngelzarma, who briefed journalists in Abuja over the weekend, also charged the federal government with ignoring livestock production in its seven-year distribution of N500 billion for agronomy.
He claims, “We supported Buhari on the eve of the last election that gave him a second term.

We demonstrated to the world our support for him, but nothing further has been done since then—as I speak to you now.
“Buhari has neglected the herdsmen. It is abundantly clear that the government has abandoned the pastoralists, whether it is Buhari or one of his lieutenants. Nothing concrete has been done for pastoralists over the past eight years.
“Check the budgetary provisions of the federal government as well as the entire state government. You will be shocked by the livestock budget if you look at it. Complete neglect is being shown to livestock.

“How can a multi-trillion Naira company be left in the care of literate people with no structure? Instead of receiving significant benefits, the government receives nothing. Oil is nearby this. Oil is next to livestock. With very good organisation and harnessing, it can support the economy of this nation. The cow does not waste anything. Consider the value chain: “The cow is money from top to bottom.”
Ngelzarma, a former MACBAN secretary who was recently elected president, expressed regret that while the rest of the nation saw MACBAN members as criminals who received special support and protection from the government, they had actually been the victims of banditry, extortion, farmer-herder conflict, cattle rustling, and kidnapping.
