I hereby make references to your expression of audacity over the ongoing planned protests being executed in some parts of Nigeria, particularly some Northern States, which you refer to as Arewa. You caution, challenge, and undermine the authority of the Nigerian Security forces by implying that protesters must not be deterred by security forces in any manner, regardless of the protesters’ actions. This has always been the position advocated by Sheikh Ahmed Gumi, which indicates a connection between you and him.
I hereby challenge you in my capacity as a native Hausa and Emancipator of the Land and Hausawa Tsantsa people of the entire Nigeria over your docility during the eight-year tenure of Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria. All manner of inhumanity was inflicted on the Hausa people by the Fulani while you stood aloof and did nothing. Have you forgotten so soon that following the closure of Northern borders by Buhari, people were killed while scrambling over a bag of rice at the Katsina, Sokoto, and Niger Republic borders?
Banditry and insurgency reigned supreme in Buhari’s era as Hausa people displayed countless corpses of their kin killed without reprieve at the Sultan’s palace, yet your association remained silent. Hausa people were arrested and detained in Katsina for protesting against persistent killings, making global news, yet no word came from you. Security forces on missions to fight Boko Haram were repeatedly ambushed, sabotaged, and killed, and you never said a word. Reign of terror dominated under Buhari, and you saw nothing wrong in that, even as women were molested in Mosques and Churches by Fulani.
Forty-four Hausa people were burnt alive in buses, even as new born baby was cooked alive by Fulani and its parents and relatives were forced to eat it, that was okay by you as you said nothing! A pregnant Hausa woman under Fulani captivity delivered twin babies only for the same babies to be thrown to Fulani dogs and be eaten by the dogs. Hausa Christians were slaughtered in Churches by your Fulani and all these were okay by you, as you remained silent.
Be wary and very informed that, Nigerians of today are well informed and so much aware of the antics of the Fulani and their limitations in the Nigerian equation that, you (Fulani immigrants) as a group of Fulani Lawyers representing Miyetti Allah, cannot harass, cajole or intimidate anybody like the Fulani were used to doing in the past when you hide under the identity, population and strength of the Nativity of the Hausa people.
I make bold and challenge you to it by saying that, Hausawa Tsantsa of Nigeria are 100% in support of the Nigerian Security Forces on any action they take against any Protester(s).
Further more, we the Hausa Native Owners of the Lands of Kano, katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa and Zaria; unequivocally disassociate ourselves from any concept of any entity called ‘Arewa’! Therefore, you cannot and do not represent us or speak on our behalf whatsoever you do, neither do you speak on behalf of the people of Middle Belt region of Nigeria.
Non Fulani members of the so-called Arewa lawyers are hereby strongly advised to exit from that evil group called ‘Arewa Lawyers’, for you are only fighting the wars of your own very enemy!
Finally, the Security Forces of Nigeria should be rest assured that they have the unreserved backing and support of the rest of Nigerians, on whatever action(s) they take to bring about peace, Law and Order on the ongoing protests now and even beyond the protests.
Long live the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
Long live President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
