The Fulani socio-cultural group, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, has endorsed the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for the 2023 presidency.
The Miyetti Allah equally endorsed Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, for second term.
Speaking at a rally in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital on Friday, the National President of the group, Abdullahi Bello-Boejo, said the endorsement followed the track records of the duo in the offices they had occupied in the past.
Bello-Boejo stated that the Fulani people also decided to support Tinubu because of his choice of former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.
He said Shettima developed and constructed schools in Fulani settlements while he served as the governor of Borno State.
