According to the statement, On behalf of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Fulani Socio-Cultural Association, we extend our gratitude to you for your recent statement, acknowledging that the conflicts in Benue are rooted in communal clashes among the Benue people, in your reaction against the lie peddled against us by Senator Udende, at the national assembly, your recognition of this fact is a significant step toward understanding the complexities of the situation.

“We appreciate your clear stance that going forward, no one should hastily implicate pro-Fulani groups of pastoralists in the ongoing crisis. Your commitment to avoiding such assumptions is crucial in fostering a fair and impartial approach to addressing the challenges faced by all communities.

“It is heartening to note that you, as the Chief Security Officer of the state, have emphasized the communal nature of the conflict. This acknowledgment will undoubtedly contribute to dispelling the unjust profiling of Fulani herders. Your understanding that these herders are essentially farmers seeking sustenance for their herds reinforces a more balanced perspective on the matter.

“In concluding, we express our sincere gratitude for your commitment to truth and justice. Your leadership in fostering a more nuanced understanding of the situation in Benue State is commendable, and we look forward to continued cooperation in promoting peace and harmony among all communities and we hope to meet you soon on a review of the ban on open grazing by Governor Samuel Ortom.

“Thank you once again for standing on the path of truth and justice.”
