The association flayed the national
leadership of the association under Alhaji Bodejo for failing to
organize election, four years after registration of the association.
It noted that the action was against
the provisions of its constitution, which stipulates that elections
should be held after every three years.
The group also condemned the
involvement of its national chairman in partisan politics; the recent
being his endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term
ambition.
The association said the action caused it and indeed all Fulanis across the nation serious embarrassment.
A five-man committee was also set up
under the chairmanship of Alhaji Lawal Ali Mai Mamman to investigate
the accusations against Bodejo.
The committee was given one month to submit its report and recommendations.
Interim national caretaker
executives under the leadership of Dr Ibrahim Abdullahi was constituted
to manage the affairs of the association pending the outcome of the
committee’s investigation.
