The Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has launched a helicopter for aerial surveillance of the activities of herdsmen in the state.

The governor, who stated this during the Workers’ Day celebration in Awka, the state capital, assured the people of the state that his administration had all it would take to prevent any attack by the herders.



Obiano said that before the growing menace of the Fulani herdsmen in the country, he had set up a special committee to foster peace between farmers and the cattle grazers in the state.

The committee, the governor noted, was made up of the leaders of the Hausa-Fulani community in the state, government officials, security agents and some representatives of agrarian communities across the state.

Obiano said, “This committee has made the herdsmen to pay compensation to communities whose crops were destroyed by their cattle seven times in the past. And we have also paid compensation to the herdsmen when one community breached the peace against them. That is the nature of our engagement with them in Anambra State.”

He warned that his administration would deal ruthlessly with the herdsmen should they become “needlessly hostile against their host communities.”

Obiano added, “There is routine helicopter surveillance across the borders of the state to ensure that any suspicious gathering of people(herdsmen) or curious movements across the borders are quickly picked up and analysed by security experts.”

The governor commended Anambra workers for their support to his administration, saying “if Willie is working, then the workers are also working.”

He restated his administration’s commitment to workers’ welfare.

Obiano added that the state government would consider a salary increase for workers once there was an increase in the state’s Internally Generated Revenue.

The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Anambra State chapter, Jerry Nnubia, had commended Obiano for putting up an excellent performance since he took over two years ago.

Meanwhile, as the various pressure groups in the southern part of the country threaten to move Fulani herdsmen from their communities because of recent killings in Enugu and other southern states, the National Coordinator of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Mr. Garus Gololo, has said such an action may ignite national crisis.

Gololo told one of our correspondents, “It is only in Oyo that there are up to 2,000 herdsmen; in other parts of the South-West, they are not more than between 200 and 800 while in the North, there are over 30 million southerners.”

According to him, many of the southerners have big houses in their original homes especially in Igbo land but such houses are empty because a lot of them are staying in the North.

He said the National Assembly had intervened in the crisis between farmers and herdsmen, insisting that “if the herdsmen have not committed offences that warrant their being forced out of the South, they should not be forced out.”

God Bless you sir.

The only effective way to control this people is whenever they start their killings, the youth in the concerned community should mobilize several people with a good insight on how to kill or harm their cattles

Those blood sucking demons should be monitored strictly.

Not a bad strategy.

Very good. Obiano is an example of a focused leader; a leader with a vision.

Please drop one like for him

Okay

Correct man

Seems Obiano isn't waiting for 'fasting and prayers'.

Obiano is no match for the clueless found piloting other states' affairs!

This is one template to copy!

.Willie is working....best Governor in Nigeria so far.

Other states are busy calling Buhari phone numbers, herdsmen that are less than quarter of the state's population you cannot deal with and wait to see how the Dullard react

When our Bastard governor still dey pray and fast

So wherever the herdsmen move to.. Una go carry helicopter dey follow dem?... The solution is to arm d local vigilante services and take the laws into our own hands...

Enugu did the same but were still attacked.

Anambra, Light of the nation. Ugwuanyi should follow suit and not declaring 2 days fasting and praying in Enugu.

Good development

Please, monitor them very well, because prevention, they say, is better than cure.

That's my Governor!

Exactly

Good

Okezie hope u are learning

This is good. It's applaudable.

If possible, I would impore all southern Governors heading their respective states to ensure that the movements of the fulani herdsmen are strictly monitored every cunting minute.

For God's sake, these hoodlums are mindless beasts that should be held securely in heavy chains. When a group of dangerous entities aren't payed much attention or neglected in the false hope or flimsy excuse that they will magically transform into beings that could be reasoned with cause they may get sick of the hopeless life drowning them, it would seem as if society is pleased with their exploits, especially when our presidiot who is their grand patron is slumbering on the issue, and with the flow of time they will become a terror in the wild. And you know, slaughtering is an addiction. After taking your first victim, a kind of an unexplainable yearning engulfs you which will spur you into a killing spree until. . .

Fulanis are so useless it hurts.

Thumbs up Sir

Nice.. we really need to be on the lookout for these animals. Very poor, dirty, heartless and tattered looking beings!
Welldone Obiano. Anambra people appreciates you.


BTW, who noticed the number of hausa-fulanis selling meshai in UNN increased?

Well, Its a good move sha..











But I hope he wouldn't later tell us the choppers were bought with all the state's allocations and revenue

Lol...drone things

Good move by him...

Governor fantastic!
