A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has fired back at the South-West governors over their response to call by the Chairman of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Prof. Ango Abdullahi, for Fulani herdsmen to return home if Southerners are hostile to them, Igbere TV reports.

Prof. Ango Abdullahi, had on Tuesday claimed to have received report of violence in some sections of the country against the herdsmen, Igbere TV reports.

“We have heard in the few hours ago that some violence had already started to manifest in some sections of the country against the herdsmen.

“If it is indeed true that their safety is not guaranteed in the places where they are residing, we would rather have them back into areas where their safety is guaranteed, and they should be coming back as much as possible to the North" he said.

Reacting to the comment credited to the Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, the South-West governors' in its statement said it was a 'palpable trepidation and outrage, and a sustained attempts to fan the ember of discord'.

However Femi Fani-Kayode was not pleased with the counter-statement and he described it as 'weak, cowardly, meaningless and nonsensical'. The former Aviation Minister tweeted;

The SW Governors response to the call for the Fulani terrorists to leave the SW was weak, cowardly, meaningless and nonsensical. They could not even muster the courage to talk until after Buhari had spoken. Someone pl ask them: are u with the Yoruba people or with Fulani Buhari?”

Yorubas are accomodators, deal with it ffk.

Someone wrote Yoruba's are "accommodators"

Please Fulani's leave South-South and go to the states of "accommodators" but leave Benin-Ore roads.

It is obvious that the SW governors alongside their Obas had already keyed into the Fulani colony settlements which Buhari had promised them a very lucrative settlement.

It's not cowardly. They are merely playing party politics.

The typical solution to these security challenges is STATE POLICE. Let locals protect their localities...…employing part time novice as policemen and women won't help

I honestly concur with FFK that weak response from SW Governors gave the Miyetti Allah the courage to tell the herdsmen to protect themselves via any means a few hours ago like they were the ones being attacked..

Not all herdsmen are evil, but how do you differentiate good from bad?

I hope those that are calling for southern unity have now known the weak link of the South.

Strike deal with afonja at your own peril.
What SW governors did yesterday was typical afonja character. Don't involve them if you want to succeed in your mission.

Don't trust afonja
Don't trust afonja
Don't trust afonja

Every thing is politicised even Boko Haram

it's funny how the south west leaders act..must everything be politics, don't they care about ordinary lives..the safety of their subjects especially the ones in the rural areas.

Former minister since almost 10 years ago.. Is FFK that lazy?

See dema yanmiri above ranting as if herdsmen are not in their regions

Yorubas and fear are homogenous

FFK is right

Ffk

No need to differentiate bro, all Herdsmen are evil.

E pain them

So u will accommodate those that wants to kill u?

The accommodating nature of the Yoruba shouldn't be mistaken for cowardice.

They shouldn't push us to the edges of the earth otherwise...

You can’t fight an opponent with Yoruba people,they can surrender to the enemies on a common threat, don’t be surprised that they have given up their land for Ruga at the back door while pretending with the rest of Middle belt, SS and SE that they don’t want Ruga

This guy has finally lost it. sad!
One bolt missen in the upper part.
My instinct is telling me that one day, this guy will still drag his mouth in the mud, even in the presence of his greatest enemy...watch it.
