Atiku, however, appealed that the people of Benue state should not see him as a Fulani man but as Atiku Abubakar.
As reported by Vanguard, he reminisced on the role he played during the pogrom at Zaki-Biam and Gbeji, and Adoor and how he stood solidly behind the people of Benue in those trying times.
Atiku said:
“We walked the streets of Zaki-Biam the day it happened, condemning the anti-Tiv violence, and were vindicated years later when the army apologized.
“I am still the same person the Zege Mule u Tiv, I can assure you that when you elect me President, no Nigerian citizen will stay in bed unable to sleep because of foreign and domestic terrorists.”
