A Fulani socio-cultural group, Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria, (KACRAN), has tasked presidential candidates to fully incorporate livestock development in their policies and programs or risk losing their bloc votes in the forthcoming general elections.
KACRAN’s National President, Hon. Khalil Mohd Bello gave the charge in a statement issued today and made available to reporters in Damaturu.
The Association observed with dismay that despite herders’ numerous contributions to the nation’s economic development and provision of nutritional food to Nigerians, they were also ignored when it came to policy and program formulations.
They therefore warned politicians not to underestimate the powers of the herders when it comes to voting.
