2023: We did not endorse Tinubu to succeed Buhari – Miyetti Allah

Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has refuted reports that it endorsed National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for President.

MACBAN said the position of individual members of on who succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 should not be regarded as a general one.

National Secretary, Baba Ngelzarma in a rebuttal issued on Wednesday, stressed that the association respects the ambition of all aspirants and was yet to pitch its tent with any of them.

“The attention of MACBAN headquarters has been drawn to stories in the media claiming that we have endorsed the presidential aspiration of Sen. Ahmed Tinubu.

“We want to make it clear that the association has not endorsed any candidate. Those who endorsed Tinubu are doing so as individuals.

“MACBAN should not in any way be dragged into the politics of endorsement at this stage,” Ngelzarma said.

On January 10, Tinubu formally informed Buhari of his desire to become the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer.
