The leader of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN), South-East chapter, Alhaji Gidado Siddikki, has made a strong appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"We’re ready to be Aso Rock sweepers", Miyetti Allah begs Tinubu for presidential appointment

Siddikki, while addressing journalists on the current state of the nation in Awka, on Thursday, August 3rd, called on Tinubu to appoint its members even as office sweepers in the presidency, The Punch reported.

He said that the call for the appointment of its members was necessary considering their prayers and the 85 percent votes that led to Tinubu’s victory in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election, Vanguard reported.

What we want from Tinubu, Miyetti Allah reveals

Siddikki further noted that all they want from Tinubu is to be part of his government.
