What I had expected the south east governors to do was this:
Convey an emergency meeting and at the end issue a communique banning all forms of normadic activity till further notice. Any herd seen grazing anywhere in the east will be treated as a breach of the order and thus criminal. This order will subsist until the presidency comes up with a clear direction on how to curb this menance.
But if the body language and actions of of the president clearly shows that he is sympathetic to his fulani kinsmen over the lives of their people,then it will leave the people with no other option than these two:
1,The re-emergence of Ethnic militia like the well fortified bakassi boys.
2,The aguleri/umuleri clash approach were 'industrious' sons of the communities started setting aside a portion of their earnings for the purchase of sophisticated firearms for their land's defence by the youths 'at home'

This is boko haram in disguise.
The dismantling of military check points by this adminisration led to the spread to all parts of the country.

The easterners should team up, take up arms and defend themselves.

The governors should not wait for the travelling president who does not care for the citizens but money.

Stop foaming from both sides of your mouth, it does not make you appear more intelligent than a toad on heat!

I did not want to use a particular word we use to describe Boko haram since the Mod on this section of NL has put me on speed-dial, for BAN!

If you read that part of my comment again, you will see how l used figure of speech to illustrate how wrong it is, to categorise these Murderers as mere "Herdsmen" since if that were to be the case, one should not find it difficult to see Cattle/Cows in places were there are herdsmen.

So, if Herdsmen attack, we are working on the presumption that they were rearing their cattle in that area and as such, we should be able to see, at least some few cattles, to show that these murderers are truly "Cattle rearers" or "herdsmen".

BTW: 'Herd' is another word for a group of Cows.
