We Never Bought GEJ Form – MACBAN

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has debunked news that the group purchased a presidential nomination form for former President Goodluck Johnathan for the 2023 elections.

The group said they see no mileage in supporting any politician when poor Fulani herdsmen need money to cater for their needs.

The National Secretary of MACBAN, Baba Ngelzarma, distanced the Fulani sociocultural organisation from the rumours. He said “Fulani herdsmen need money more than the aspirants jostling to pick the presidential ticket of their parties.”

“The attention of the national headquarters of MACBAN has been drawn to a trending story in which we are being quoted as having bought a presidential nomination form for former President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2023 elections.

“We wish to make it clear that MACBAN did not and will not buy any form for any candidate contesting elections,” the group said.

Ngelzarma added that the association would not spend its members’ hard-earned money to purchase exorbitant nomination forms for any presidential hopeful as it was more interested in the well being of its members across the country.
