The National President Jonde Jam Fulani Youths Association of Nigeria ,Alh Saidu Maikano Adamu alleges that the former Governor of Plateau State ,Sen. Joshua Chibe Dariye is remote-controlling Simon Bako Lalong on the affairs of the state.
Former Governor, Joshua Dariye who is servings m jail terms in Kuje prison, is said to be influencing Governor Simon Bako Lalong who take decision from his former boss.
Maikano disclosed this in an exclusive interview with our correspondent at his resident in Mista Ali of Bassa Local Government Council on Sunday morning .
He accused the Governor Simon Lalong of allowing Dariye to function in key decision of authority especially on appointment of commissioners and polio given them .
The Fulani leader reveals that Joshua Dariye in 1999 brought crisis to Plateau state and refused that Bokkos LGA should not be involve in the ongoing crisis then but he allowed crises to spread across the 16 LGAs .
According to him ,”the three major pioneers of crisis in Plateau state are Former Joshua Dariye ,Sen. Jonah David Jang and Governor Simon Lalong ,all of these people are pretending but they arr always instigating conflict because In 2006 the ,then Deputy Senate President Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu imposed a state of emergency into the government of Dariye but when they invited Rt Hon Simon Bako Lalong to affirm it he vehemently refused . However, then the former EFCC boss Nuhu Rubado has to invite Lalong to Abuja and locked them up and Mike Dapialong took over so Lalong is still loyal to Dariye against the oaths he took to rule the people of Plateau state without been bias,he explained.
“We gave him this mandate in 2015 believing that he would provide conducive atmosphere to our people to contribute to the development of the state but reverse is the case here what we are seeing now is total discriminate and failure to deliver on his campaign promises to the Muslim’s community . Saidu Maikano told our correspondent that Lalong didn’t value us Fulani ,we assembly all Ardos for him in 2015 and we all agreed to vote him but he didn’t carry us alone ,what we are asking for is not issue of religion but an opportunity for our children to go to school acquire knowledge’ .
He maintained that, ‘ our people can take advantage nomadic education and on Saturday and Sundays they can use it to study Arabic because out of 86 nomadic education established by Professor Marry Lar and Dr Jibrin Aminu now we have less than 20 now .
“Lalong kept lying and he is pretending to be a peace maker which is not true ,but if you have two wives and you are not paying school fees of the second wife what do you want her to do ,? That is the situation we found ourselves in Plateau state”. He added.
Maikano reiterated that some are saying that he gave them 30 cows to be shared across the 17 LGAs ,one person have lost over 100 cows to the crisis . He blasted some Fulani leaders who are war contractors ,they go about listening to lies while thousands of their members are walloping in object poverty and frustration under the present leadership of APC of Lalong . Saidu Maikano cautioned herders that ,”don’t give Lalong the trust Berom are after our lives they killed us so we are calling on federal government to set up committee to visit the state and see to themselves what is going . He pointed out that they chase us away blocks all the cattle routes in Plateau state and since he won he has abandon us . Saidu stated that in 2019 election ,we all agreed not to vote him but Mrs Pauline Tallen came to beg us even when they were counting votes PDP was leading and immediately Jos North LGA came and change the narrative . He stressed that the problems of lingering crisis in Plateau state has do with political injustice of Dariye ,Jang, and Lalong including indigene and non indigene dichotomy were Muslims are completely relegated at background of politics which is a politics exclusion. Saidu noted that what is going to bring peaceful existence is for Hausa-Fulani be recognize and given the chiefdom or first class Emir ,which we can achieve it through media not by violence attack on innocent people . Maikano said the last president election President Muhammadu Buhari lost in Plateau state is an indication Lalong didn’t campaign for him .
