The Fulani Nationalist Movement (FUNAM) have threatened war if sent a way from Ondo forest.
A statement signed by Baadu Salisu Ahmadu, West Africa Regional Coordinator of FUNAM, states that the Fulani’s will resist this move by all means necessary. The also asked the government to restrain Sunday Igboho or face serious consequences.
Read statement below:
“Our attention has been drawn to a decree credited to one Rotimi Akeredolu asking Fulani people who have occupied some forests in Ondo State to quit.
We are also aware of another incidence in Oyo State where an illeterate political thug gave quit notice to Fulani people to leave the territories which are now their irreversible homes.
This is not only an irresponsible demand but a call to arms of the faithful who have been pursuing their legitimate business in these forests.
We have given a counter order. No Fulani will move an inch either in Oyo, Ondo or any part of the Western part of Nigeria.
On behalf of Fulani Nationalist Movement, (FUNAM) we hereby warn the governments Oyo and it’s agent, one Sunday Igboho and the Ondo State Govt to rescind their orders or face serious consequences.
It is shocking that the said Igboho and Akeredolu who is a beneficiary of the system is giving a stupid order that he knows no one will respect. We didn’t get the forests through him and how does he expect Fulani to obey his empty order? If he had been shot during attack on him, will he be alive to give orders? Humans have a short memory.
The Fulani people in these forests acquired these lands legitimately the Fulani also operates under the ECOWAS protocol on free movement of persons. The people giving the orders should know they do not have the capacity to enforce such orders.
First they are not the Nigerian Police neither are they the Nigerian Army. The National Assembly has not given such not even the Houses of Assembly in the two states acquiesce to such irresponsible demand.
The Fulani will resist by all means necessary, including armed resistance any attempt to forcefully eject them from these Forests that in reality does not belong to these States alone. Some are Federal Reserve Forests.
We want to ask Akeredolu whether those communities brought the lands from heaven.
We warn that any one Fulani blood that is shed further in the South West will automatically lead to upheaval in the six states of Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun State.
We the Fulani are on red alert and waiting for the call and will never succumb to any threat or intimidation by ethnic bigots.I Baadu Salisu Ahmadu,given my new responsibility, will with other faithful NEVER fail the Fulani Nation in it’s Allah chosen destiny”.

Empty noise of defeated fulani criminals from Guinea are not new. Four years ago, Sadique said we do not have knowledge of war, Junaid Mohammed (late) said Oduduwa people are first to flee in a war, Ango-Abdullahi said nobody can defeat fulanis. Where are we today? We have defeated fulani caliphate called Nigeria with their local and international collaborators, defeated thugs of fulani caliphate called military, police etc. which know nothing about Revolutionary Warfare. Sadique have surrendered quietly, Junaid Mohammed has ran away to the grave, Ango-Abdullahi is nowhere to be found. Vacating defeated fulani criminals on every inch of the six sovereign states- dead or alive, is a very minor job to finish. Sending all fulanis on African Soil back to Guinea- dead or alive, is a very minor job to finish.
Natives of the six geopolitical zones should ignore empty noise of defeated fulani criminals and focus only on establishing interim governments under their sovereign states with military, police etc. to defend territorial borders of their sovereign states, fix their lands, economies. Every community, town, city of this territory natives must be fully armed now to defend territorial borders of their sovereign states for existence securities and freedom under their sovereign states.
When we get to the stage of vacating defeated fulani rats on every inch of the six sovereign states, let's see the little rats nickname FUNAM stand on our way. Only the Sword decides.
