The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN the umbrella body for cattle breeders in the country has joined those rooting for the presidency of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The presidential aspirant has been dragged by some leaders from the south for keeping quiet over the deadly clashes between herders and farmers, particularly in the southern part of the country.

Tinubu’s critics insist that he kept his opinion close to his heart in order not to offend northern leaders, many of who have expressed their support for him to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari whose tenure ends next year.

The former Lagos state Governor and All Progressives Congress, APC National Leader has been receiving support across the country for his presidential quest.

The cattle rearers said their decision to support Tinubu is based on the fact he will make life better for their members of elected president in 2023.

The group at ameeting held at the Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute, Abuja, on Sunday, said it has been monitoring all the presidential hopefuls, and believed that the former Lagos helmsman will serve its interest.

Ya’u Haruna, convener of the meeting and a former chairman of the Jigawa chapter of MACBAN, said Tinubu is a leader that can be trusted based on his antecedent as Lagos Governor.

He said the members of the association are peace loving people who have been living in harmony with other Nigerians, adding that the distortion of the Grazing Routes is at the middle of clashes between herders and farmers.

He said the association has encouraged its members to take active part in politics ahead next year’s election.

According to him “already and following our effort in sensitising our people, many now have their PVC cards and are only waiting for the election time.

“We are also scanning the people showing interest in the presidential seat with Bola Tinubu leading because he was the one that intervened in our matter while he was governor of Lagos and we had a crisis in Benue.
