The National Secretary, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Mr Saleh Alhassan, has said his gathering to be sure requested from the Federal Government the installment of N100bn to herders yet for the development of farms and not for acquittal as provided details regarding online media.
Alhassan made the explanation in a meeting with The PUNCH on Thursday.
He asserted previous President Goodluck Jonathan vowed to give them the cash and that was what educated their choice to help his re-appointment in 2015.
The Miyetti Allah boss, nonetheless, said that after Jonathan left, the activity was suspended, thus the choice of the gathering to introduce the issue to the President Muhammadu Buhari government.
Inquired as to why N100bn ought to be paid to fierce herders to stop kidnappings, Alhassan stated, "That is a devilish assertion. Do they pay cash that way? Have they ever paid any cash that way? That N100bn has been on the table for smaller than usual farms since 2014 when (previous) President Goodluck Jonathan was attempting to address the waiting emergency among ranchers and herders.
"In this way, some portion of that cash was, I think, utilized by state lead representatives under the panel led by the then Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam. Be that as it may, I don't think the heft of the cash has arrived at the pastoralists, the herders.
"As a component of that approach, they (the Federal Government) are attempting to perceive how they would now be able to help domesticated animals makers to address ranchers/herders clashes through an arrangement."
He added, "Thus, individuals currently saying they have given Miyetti Allah N100bn to stop kidnappings are simply being wicked on the grounds that from what we have noticed, there are sure individuals that are turning accounts."
Alhassan deplored that a few Nigerians didn't need any sort of help to come from the public authority for animals advancement.
"On the off chance that we will have farms, unquestionably, some help would come from government," he said.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, and some administration authorities had experienced harsh criticism a week ago for supposedly encouraging to pay Miyetti Allah N100bn as pardon to control the ascent in banditry, grabbing and killings.
In any case, both the police and the Presidency denied truly talking about cash with herders.
Alhassan said there was not all that much if Buhari regarded a guarantee made by Jonathan to the ranchers.
"Assuming today, the Buhari government sees strategy that was there since 2014 and needs to perceive how it very well may be actualized by supporting cows raisers, Fulani as well as anyone that is rearing animals, to get to office like the Anchor Borrowers you have with the Central Bank of Nigeria, I don't believe it's something that calls for publicity."
