I’m now member of Miyetti Allah – Dino Melaye
Melaye said:
“My sincere appreciation goes to the good people of this country, including the chief of army staff, and several others that have identified with me and my family.
“During this period, I have received 104 cows and I can say I’m now a member of Miyetti Allah, and will thereby ask President Buhari to make available to me a Ruga cattle settlement.”
Dignitaries at the event were Bukola Saraki, former Senate President; Ike Ekeremadu, former Deputy Senate President; Dimeji Bankole, ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives and Patricia Etteh, also a former speaker of the house of reps.
However, President Muhammadu Buhari and Tukur Buratai, Chief of Army Staff, sent representatives.
After a national outcry, President Muhammadu Buhari suspended the proposed RUGA settlement plans to settle herdsmen at selected locations across the country.
