The national leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria has disassociated itself from comments made by the coordinator of its group in Benue state, threatening the senate president, Bukola Saraki
MACBAN National Secretary, Baba Uthman Ngelzarma, described the statement as unfortunate and stated that Garos Gololo spoke in his personal capacity and not on behalf of the association.
In a statement released on Wednesday, MACBAN said Gololo’s words should be disregarded in its entirety.

The statement reads;
“I will categorically state that Garos Gololo spoke in his personal capacity and has no mandate to speak on behalf of the association.
“Miyetti Allah is a non-partisan association with no interest in the political terrain and we couldn’t meddle into the affairs of political actors thereby compounding our already obvious challenges. I, therefore, urge all and sundry to disregard this statement.
“This statement is not from MACBAN and should be disregarded in its entirety. We take exception on this statement and Garos Gololo is entirely on his own and will be sanctioned accordingly.
“We cannot afford to add up to the many challenges we are confronted with. I’m therefore appealing to the general public to disregard this statement as it is coming from someone who doesn’t have the mandate of the association to speak on its behalf.”
Meanwhile, earlier today an official of the association had stated that Saraki would be forced out of office if he refused to resign his position immediately.
MACBAN’s Coordinator in Benue State, Alhaji Garus Gololo, gave the warning in Makurdi, the State capital yesterday.
Gololo claimed that Saraki has failed to coordinate and organise the National Assembly to offer quality legislation that Nigerians need.
Gololo said Saraki had created numerous problems for the administration of President Muhammad Buhari, which he said had affected the economic and social growth of the nation.
See Gololo’s statement:
“It is on this note that we are saying that Saraki ought not to be in office again as Senate President, more so, Saraki has failed to coordinate and organise the National Assembly to offer quality legislation that Nigerians need.
“Nigerians are in dire need of people that have the interest of the masses. Miyetti Allah is looking for a leader that would preside over the affairs of the Senate with ultimate respect for the executive and the judiciary, not someone like Senator Saraki that would always scheme to outdo the Presidency.
“We are now tired of Saraki’s style of leadership at the National Assembly. Therefore, we are now warning him to honourably resign his position as president of the Senate or we will force him out”, Gololo said, refusing, however, to explain how the association would remove the Senate president.”
