The Miyetti Allah organisation has urged Fulanis in Nigeria not to support Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, in the general elections in 2023.
The group referred to the former governor of Anambra State as a “tribal bigot” in a statement that was made public on Sunday.
If Obi were to become president in 2023, Miyetti Allah claims that he would not benefit Fulanis in the nation since he represents Biafran interests.

In an interview with Newsmen, Saleh Ahassan, the national secretary-general of the Fulani socio-cultural organization, made the accusation against Obi.
Obi shouldn’t be taken into consideration for the presidency in the upcoming election, according to Miyetti Allah.
The group said, “As far as we are concerned, we know those we cannot vote for. You see that they call Obi or Obidient, any Fulani man who votes for him must be questioned because he may not be a true son of the soil.
“Obi represents the Biafran interest. So, we know those we cannot vote for and those that cannot be president of Nigeria. He is a tribal bigot.”
Alhassan also claimed that Obi as the governor of Anambra State, “destroyed the businesses of northerners and chased plenty Hausa and Fulani people from entering Anambra.”
