Melaye To Buhari: If Politicians Are Responsible For Killings, Why Is Ranching The Solution?

SENATOR Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West at the upper legislative chamber has hit back at President Muhammadu Buhari over his claims that politicians were responsible for ongoing nationwide killings.

Mr Buhari has on several occasions shifted blames to politicians as motivating the killings for their personal gains.

The president first launched his attacks on politicians when he visited Jos, the Plateau state capital, last week.

His media aide, Garba Shehu had quoted the president in a statement as saying that: “desperate people had pursued their quest for instability and chaos which they hoped would give them an advantage in the coming elections”.

Mr Shehu went on to add that: “We know that a number of geographical and economic factors are contributing to the longstanding herdsmen/farmers clashes. But we also know that politicians are taking advantage of the situation. This is incredibly unfortunate.”

On Thursday, Mr Buhari launched his second attack when he played host to a delegation of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) from the 19 northern states at the presidential villa, Abuja.

While describing those accusing him of incompetence the Nigerian leader said his accusers were evil-minded people.

“When some (people), for clearly political purposes, attempt to suggest that this government is doing nothing about the killings, and that I, being Fulani, must be encouraging these satanic acts, it seems to me that there is no limit to the evil in the minds of these men,” he said.

Besides shifting blames when confronted on his failures on national issues, the Buhari administration has on several occasions suggested that cattle ranching was the solution to farmers and herders clashes across the country.

The suggestion has widely been rejected by various states who insisted that they have no land for cattle ranching.

Earlier in the week, the Presidency had told those against providing land for the proposed ranching that submitting their lands for ranching was better than being killed by killer herdsmen.

“Ancestral attachment? You can only have ancestral attachment when you are alive. If you are talking about ancestral attachment, if you are dead, how does the attachment matter?” Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, queried while speaking on an AIT morning programme in response to a question on people giving out their ancestral attachments.

But reacting, Mr Melaye on Friday threw a question to the president on his claims.

“If PMB said politicians are the cause of the killings. So why is ranching the solution?” he tweeted via his twitter handle.

When I say the combination of Buhari and Osibanjo is foolishness zombies argue.

Imagine if Osibanjo was wise, he will surely advice Buhari with wisdom.

But because he is equally stupid Nigeria is in a mess.

Watch as zombies from west side cry over my describing their ‘wise’ brother as stupid!

If the post of VP is as powerless as some claim, then a conscientious man would resign. Zombies use your head.

What kind of question is this.?
What kind of blackmail is this?

Politicians are taking advantage of the fg ranching support for the herdsmen.

They are hiding inside this crisis, so that this ranches will not be establish.

They are instilling fear in people, in order for the indigenes not to release their land for ranches.

Abeg help me ask that man Oo, he thinks all Nigerians are equally daft. Let him also answer these;
1) If the killers are Libyans, why give the land?
2) Is cattle rearing not private business again, why should the government now fund their operations by building ranches?
3). How will he ( Badbuhari) convince us that the so called herdsmen are willing to stay on ranches. The had refused to obey anti open grazing prohibition laws in Benue, Taraba etc?
4) Must ranches be built on other people’s ancestral lands? What happened to the core north or even Niger state and Kwara state with their land mass and rich vegetation?
5) If the cattle’s can feed on ranches in Benue, they can also feed on ranches in Yobe. The nutrients and pastures the claim the need, will have to be provided and brought to those ranches?

Just one of the question they should be asking the demonic terrorist of a president....

Here are the critical questions any sane mind free from zombie virus should be asking..

-It is been 2 weeks now since this demon promised to rejig his security setting but nothing has been done yet...Mark my word this useless terrorist is not ready to sack any of his terrorist security chief!!

-Why did Kpotum Idris Ibrahim ordered everybody to surrender their arms even the one legally acquired if your terrorist government has no sinister motive?

-From climate change to drying up of lake chad to Libyan militia to Islamic state of west Africa and now disgruntled politician??..Can you see the Taqiya here just to confuse the populace?

-Why is it that whenever you have sent your terrorist brothers to kill, maim and land grab, you will then send soldiers to prevent villagers from defending themselves only for you to go on a condolence visit; advising the locals to accommodate the terrorist that has grabbed their land and already renaming it??

-Are the disgruntled politician the one that made the now infamous statement your land or your life?

-Are the disgruntled politician the one looking for cattle colony for your terrorist brother?

-Ganduje of Kano has offered Falgore forest which is more than enough to accommodate all herdsman terrorist..Why go about looking for cattle colony all over Nigeria if their is no sinister fulanisation and islamisation agenda?

Buratai(COAS)- Benue should repeal Anti open grazing law
Abdulrahman Dambazzau(Interior Min.) - They should stop the Anti open grazing law
Ibrahim Idris(IGP)- It is communal clash, they should repeal Anti grazing law
Mansur Dan Ali(Defense Min.)- When they blocked the cattle route what do you expect the herdsman to do now?? They have to fight back....they should repeal Anti grazing law
Presidency-Your land or your life


If you are free from the zombie virus and not BMC member what other evidence do you need to know that this is a state sponsored terror to land grab, fulanise and islamise Nigeria?

Buhari and his gang of terrorist security chief have only come to kill, steal and destroy..Pure and simple!!.

Mr man the question is simple: who is responsible for the killings?

If it is politicians then why is the solution cattle colonies? Why not investigate and arrest the politicians instead?

U know its funny u all called for gej's head wen he hinted that politicians were behind boko haram. Every mistake gej ever made in his 5 yr rule, buhari has made in his 3. If u guys reelect buhari then its over for nigeria

Nobody is afraid to release land but release land to who ? Fulani? Who are widely known for the penchant for trouble and their militia known as the fourth most dangerous terrorist group in the world. You can't go about killing with the backing of the government and expect people to receive you with open arms.
The Fulani's are like enemies of the whole Nigeria and nobody wants to have anything to do with them.

The genocide in middle belt is a FULANI EXPANSIONIST AGENDA TO EXTERMINATE NATIVES AND TAKE OVER THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND THROUGH GRAZING COLONIES PROPOSED BY BUHARI'S TERRORIST GOVT. Any other reason is a LIE!

BREAKING NEWS! BUHARI'S TERRORIST GOVT ARE CURRENTLY IMPORTING FOREIGN FULANIS FROM NIGER REP AND OTHER WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND THEIR COWS INTO THE COUNTRY IN SECRET THROUGH NORTHERN BORDERS TO SOUTHERN NIGERIA IN TRAILER TRUCKS AT NIGHT! THEY PLAN TO FLOOD SOUTHERN NIGERIA WITH AS MANY COWS AS POSSIBLE AS YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY NOTICED THEIR INFLUX IN SOME SOUTHERN STATES LIKE LAGOS, DELTA, AKWAIBOM, EDO, EBONYI ETC.
THEIR PLAN B TO REALIZE GRAZING COLONIES FOR FULANIS ALL OVER NIGERIA RIGHT NOW IS TO IMPORT AND TRANSPORT THOUSANDS OF COWS AS POSSIBLE TO MAJOR CITIES IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA UNTIL THERE IS COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF LAW AND ORDER - TO PAVE WAY FOR COW COLONIES! MOST OF THE HERDSMEN YOU SEE IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA ARE FOREIGNERS!!!!
IF ANY THING HAPPENS, HOLD BUHARI'S TERRORIST GOVT RESPONSIBLE.

This garba shehu n his northern elements are pigs for describing the killings by herdsmen as herdsmen/farmers clashes.
Herdsmen are the aggressors, encroachers, trespassers and interlopers by grazing on farmlands that doesn't belong to them.
That is an act of criminality.
If armed robbers comes to my house to steal from me, and I have the means to defend myself I Will.
No one should describe that as armed robbers/citizens clashes.
It doesn't make any sense!

Same question I've been asking all week. If Libyan mercenaries, Israeli assassins and political foes were responsible for the killings;

Why is ranching the solution

Why is Miyetti Allah releasing statements

Why did the Presidency say that it's better to give up lands and stay alive

This is beyond APC & PDP. Every progressive-minded, right-thinking Nigerian have to unite on this one.
