Members of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a Fulani socio-cultural association, have endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan as their sole candidate for the March 28 presidential elections.
The President got the endorsement during an audience with the leaders and members of the association at the Presidential Villa.
President Jonathan reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to finding a permanent solution to the frequent clashes between herdsmen and farmers across the country.
The association also decorated President Jonathan as life patron of the Fulani socio-cultural association.
The president thanked the association for the honour and commended the Fulani’s for their significant contributions to the development of the country.
He described Fulani pastoralists as a major economic group in Nigeria and applauded their substantial contributions to food security in the country.
The president said as part of its agenda for positive transformation in the agricultural sector, his administration was working towards developing cattle rearing in Nigeria to a level where the nation can earn higher revenues from meat exports.
The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Mr Abdullah Bello Bodejo, thanked the president for receiving members of the association.
