According to a report, he said, “Until today, I never imagined I would meet a Fulani man who speaks better Yoruba. That is really fantastic.

We want Nigeria to be like this. We anticipate a united Nigeria with a single voice, a shared culture, and mutual respect. If we stayed here for the next five hours, you would hear the same story from me, I want to assure you. I sincerely thank Allah. Herders have caused us issues in the past. But I can assure you right now that the issue would be permanently resolved. The blueprint is nearly complete. We’ll use it for planning. The world is just and beneficial to everyone.
“We must live in peace for the sake of our children and grandchildren as well as for ourselves today.

“What we discover about the Fulanis is their straightforwardness and dedication to promises. You receive their commitment when they give it. “You know you are in my heart. I hope I can pass the blood and spirit I received from you to my grandchildren for the unity, stability, and peace of Nigeria. We’ll improve Nigeria. Additionally, we’ll elevate the name Fulani to a very respectable one.

The group’s leader, Ardo Bobboi, was also quoted in the statement as saying that the organization would use its 33,661 members to persuade millions of Fulani to support Tinubu in the presidential election.
