After triumphing and winning the presidential candidacy of the ruling party for the elections slated on March, 2017, the winner Mr Muse Bihi Abdi had on his positive word of the incident that had taken place in Gabilay. While attending a well-organized graduation ceremony at Adna University, Mr Bihi, Kulmiye’s flag bearer, stated his sorrow about the irritating incident in which some Gabiley residents clothed stray dogs with Waddani colours. Talking about this issue, Mr Bihi said, “As a nation, we must guide who follow the wrong path and we must further correct for they had done wrongfully.
We must not exaggerate what happens; that is, when something wrong happens the media should not make larger and worse than it is really is. The media has the responsibility to broadcast what is important for the nation and the citizens, not to put forward every evil thing that is against the constitution, culture, and politeness.” The chairman as well as Kulmiye’s running candidate for the election of 2017 pointed out that is imperative to be on fact. Talking about the allegations of Waddani to Kulmiye on the incident, Mr Bihi said, “ What happened was beyond the rights of the country’s national parties, but on the other hand, it is important not to allege everyone. Someone is in charge of what had happened; not everyone who is working for the government institutions to be alleged.” Lastly, Mr Bihi suggested to Somaliland citizens the need respect the national parties that exist in Somaliland.
