Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has denied endorsing any presidential aspirant ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The association made the denial against the backdrop of reports that it had endorsed the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
MACBAN said it was not time for it to endorse any aspirant.
The position of Miyetti Allah was made known in a statement issued in Abuja on Wedensday by its national secretary, Alhaji Baba Ngelzarma.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of the MACBAN National Headquarters has been drawn to stories in the media claiming that we have endorsed the presidential aspiration of Senator 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, as MACBAN should not in anyway be dragged into the politics of endorsement at this stage.”
It would be recalled that Tinubu, on January 10, declared his presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 presidential election, during his visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
