PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to a question thrown to him by Senator Dino Melaye on the unabated nationwide killings.

The reaction done by the Presidency comes two days after HEADLINE ran a story reporting Senator Dino Melaye querying President Muhammadu Buhari on why his administration has repeated called for the establishment of cattle ranching if truly politicians where behind the killings.

The Presidency defending its principal on why the president accused politicians of being responsible for the killings refused to address the question posed to Buhari by Melaye. Instead it appealed “to all its citizens as well as members of the international community to refrain from spreading false stories and inflammatory statements concerning the recent herder-farmer clashes.”

HEADLINE ran the story described as ‘false’ by the presidency based on a tweet on the lawmaker’s twitter handle. Melaye, as at press time, has also not withdrawn his query described as ‘inflammatory’ by the presidency. One baffles how come the story is false.

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.

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.

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 queried.

Defending its principal, the Presidency said the government had evidence to back-up Mr Buhari’s claim.

“As President Buhari indicated lately, there is evidence of involvement of some politicians using criminals to perpetuate the killings,” presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said in a statement on Sunday.

“The Nigerian Government is working closely with State governments and the Security Services – as well as international partners – in order to resolve this ongoing issue.

“The clashes between herders and farmers are historical. The causes of these confrontations are varied and complex.

“Climate change, specifically the drying up of the Chad Basin, has led to more pressure on the population in the North of Nigeria, which further compounded the problem.

“Climate change is an issue of global significance and the Nigerian Government is determined to continue working closely with its neighbours in order to ensure that a long-term solution can be implemented.

“The Federal Government makes no distinction amongst the population and works tirelessly to protect all Nigerian people.

“We are strongest as a nation when we are united and it is through unity that we will overcome this challenge,” Shehu said.

Okay o

What happened to presidency?
So they can stoop so low like This?
Even a vague answer like this concerning all the questions concerned citizens has been asking since 3 yrs ago would have averted a lot. At least say something.
But this man won't talk.
Instead that onochie lady and lai will be digging more graves for him.

That reminds me, Have they caged their mouth?
With all that has been happening, I'm yet to hear from them

Buhari, a good man full of bad intentions. 2019 shall tell.

Carry your climate change excuse put for your ynash. People should be, raped, maimed, killed chased out of their lands, with the assistance of the Nigerian security forces because of cattle right? Maybe you think every Nigerian reasons the way you do. Just start packing your loads.

Buhari the terrorist, come 2019 you and your Fulani cattles would be going back to the Sahara to feed on the grasses the planted. Insha allah

Buhari.

Katsina State is big enough. Allocate the whole state to your brothers. They do not need to be in all the states.

In fact I have decided not to eat how meat henceforth.

I don't want to promote a business that is designed around killing humans and taking their land.

I will not eat cow meat until further notice.

Now we blame the climate for the killings...

I never see person like Buhari for my life before...God4bid

BULLARI DEY VEX ME SOME HOW

OK o

The terrorist govt now using Politicians as cause of Plateau genocide and Climate Change side by side to push for Grazing Colonies for terrorist herdsmen. Hope Nigerians can see the Taqiya (Deception)[ /b] this terrorist govt is trying to pull on Nigerians to confiscate lands for fulani expansion? It's no longer Libyan herdsmen it is politicians and climate change now. One will begin to wonder if Climate Change also wiped the entire Sambisa forest - a huge grassland as large as Belgium. Bloody terrorist govt.
Always have it at the back of your mind that;
[b]GRAZING RESERVE = FULANI SETTLEMENT.
Be foolish enough and donate your land to them and you will regret it.
