We Are Ready To Work Even As Sweepers -- Miyetti Allah Begs Tinubu For Appointment

  

 President Bola Tinubu has been called upon to give appointments to members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN).

The MACBAN Southeast zonal leader Allhaji Gidado Siddikki, while pleading for appointment said they merited it as they prayed and voted for President Tinubu during the February 25 presidential election.

In the words of Siddikki:

 

“We are demanding for appointments from Tinubu’s government. Even if it is as office sweepers, we are okay with it. All we want is for us to be part of the government at the centre.

“During the election, to my knowledge, my people voted for President Tinubu because his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari, told my people to vote for him and they all did so.

“We prayed, supported, endorsed and did everything politically possible to ensure his victory. So he should not abandoned us. In the appointments the President has made so far, no Miyetti Allah member is among, including the recently-screened ministerial nominees.

“In addition to the N8,000 proposed palliative and other benefits of the government, he should appoint us too, even as sweepers at the Presidential Villa.”
