The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Sunday called on all Fulani herdsmen in some parts of the country, especially in Benue and Taraba states, to relocate to Kano State.

Ganduje said Kano State had “vast grazing land” to accommodate herdsmen and their cattle.



The governor stated this during the monitoring of the state’s “free vaccination of over one million cattle and other small animals” at Kadawa Artificial Insemination Centre in the Garum Malam Local Government Area of the state.

The exercise titled, ‘Towards Conservation of Livestock Resource and Animal Protein for Citizens of Kano,’ was part of activities marking the 2017/2018 livestock vaccination programme.

Ganduje, who condemned the “recent killings during the clashes between farmers and herdsmen,” said they were unacceptable.

The governor said the vaccination was initiated to keep animals healthy and improve the economy of the state.

He said as part of the government’s commitment to encouraging herdsmen in the state, Kano State Government had been providing facilities that would accommodate the herdsmen and their cattle to discourage them from moving to other states in search of grazing land.

Ganduje said, “Fulani herdsmen of Kano origin do not move out of Kano to other states because we have enough grazing land, ranches and traditional stock route. They don’t have any reason to move out of the state. We take care of them and we accord them the respect and dignity they deserve.

“I am inviting herdsmen from all parts of Nigeria to relocate to Kano because we have enough facilities to accommodate them. We have grazing land in Rogo, Gaya, Kura, Tudun Wada, Ungogo and other places, where facilities have been provided to accommodate the herdsmen and their cattle.”

The governor added that his administration was already in collaboration with the Federal Government and foreign agencies to convert the Falgore Game Reserve into a modern grazing land.



“Falgore Game Reserve can take care of millions of herdsmen and their cattle in Nigeria. The location has been designed to accommodate schools, human and animal clinics, markets, recreational centres and other social amenities that would provide the herdsmen enough comfort to take care of their animals and transact their business without any hindrance.

“These killings must stop. We cannot afford to continue to witness these senseless killings in the name of Fulani herdsmen and farmers clash over lack of grazing land when we have a place like the Falgore Game Reserve, which is being underutilised.”

Ganduje also said his administration had embarked on the registration of herdsmen and their cattle to enable the government to take care of them through free vaccination and other incentives.

Physicist:
It is a good suggestion not only for Northern Governors, but also for Southern Governors. Southern Governors should establish cattle ranches or cattle farms. No Fulani should be allowed to work or own cattle ranches or cattle farms in the Southern states by the Southern Governors. The Fulani herdsmen should stay in the core northern states.

Zuluhead:
If this is true then its a welcome development. Its high time the northern governors emulate this man and i hope its not just a distraction to accumulate votes and win the 2019 election before they proceed to the final phase of their agenda.

when a governor is reasoning like this, ómò which way forward
turn a game reserve to a grazing land

Anyway, anything to take off Fulani Herdsmen from other parts of Nigeria is welcomed by me!

Ganduje, while you are at it, also provide free land for other businesses as well!

nepotical hypocrites!

Fulani can own business in the south. In fact Northerners control more of the federal government revenue generating businesses such as Custom, Immigration, Nigeria Ports Authority in the south than southerners. Northerners own businesses in the south. If the Fulani herdsmen are not destroying farms, are not raping women, are not maiming, are not killing and are not claiming other people’s land belong to Fulani, no one will ask Fulani herdsmen to leave.

Aliko Dangote (the richest black man in the world), has his business headquarter in the south. He is currently building a very big refinery in the South. No one is asking Dangote and other law abiding northerners to leave the south or not to have business or houses in the south.

Fulani herdsmen have problems with people everywhere they go. All the way from Ghana to Nigeria, Fulani herdsmen are problems. Fulani herdsmen fight with almost every other ethnic group in Nigeria.

What will be the reactions and response of Fulani herdsmen and Fulani in general if Southerners residing in the North start killing Fulani, raping Fulani women and girls and maiming Fulani in the North? You will agree with me that Southerners living in the North will not try to commit such atrocities that Fulani herdsmen are committing in other people’s land.
