Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has banned grazing and rearing of cattle in the State, saying those interested in cattle farming should get their own private cattle ranch and that a bill to make movement of cattle from one location to another criminal in the State will soon be sent to the State House of Assembly.


Governor Fayose, who made this known when he visited Oke-Ako in Ikole local government area of the State that was invaded last Friday by Fulani herdsmen that killed two residents of the town and injured others, warned that government will henceforth confiscate any cattle seen anywhere in the State apart from ranch created for them by their owners.

He described the Fulani herdsmen that attacked Oke-Ako and other communities in the country as “agents of the devil that must be fished out and punished accordingly.”

The governor said;
“We will not leave our lands for Fulani herdsmen and in a system where the leadership of the country looks the other way while our people are being killed, we will have no option than to defend ourselves by whatever means.”
He said; “I have come here to commiserate with the people of Oke-Ako over the murder of two of our people by these evil Fulani herdsmen. “I am also here to assure that this will be the last time your community will be invaded by Fulani herdsmen under whatever guise.
“I have directed that cattle rearing and grazing should stop in Ekiti State and those interested in cattle farming should henceforth do so in their own cattle ranch.

“No more movement of cattle from one location to another in the State and any cattle seen anywhere in Ekiti State apart from the ranch created for them by their owners will be confiscated by the government and their owners will be prosecuted.
“A bill to this effect will be sent to House of Assembly for passage into law to criminalise cattle owners whose cattle are found moving from one location the other in the State. “If President Mohammadu Buhari, who is the patron of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has refused to call the herdsmen to order, we in Ekiti will no longer harbour herdsmen who go about killing our people, destroying our farmlands and raping our women.


“If the same President Buhari that was so concerned about the killing of Fulani herdsmen in in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of Oyo State such that he, as a private citizen led Arewa to Ibadan on October 13, 2000, to confront the then Governor of Oyo State, late Alhaji Lam Adesina is now keeping silent when the same herdsmen are killing our people, we must rise and defend ourselves.”
“It is our duty to protect our people and we are going to do that without fear or favour. The governor reiterated that activities of the Fulani Herdsmen was inimical to the revival of agriculture in the country saying;


“one wonders how Nigerians can go back to farming when those already in the farms are losing billions of naira worth of crops to destruction of their farmlands by the Fulani Herdsmen and the Federal Government is not doing anything about it.”

Now those silly Yorubas who dont like Fayose can go ahead and harbor the Fulani herders

Nice on there mr.fayose.other state should ban them

this space is not for sale.

Fayose's rating keep soaring high, this man should be the representative of the whole Yoruba people. Yoruba's need brave warriors like Fayose, not some cowardly àss licking slaves.

Fayose the generalissimo of the South West, long may your reign be.

gov Fayose you are my true hero. u are truly a leader of your people. bravo!!!! the people's gov. your people will know that they truly have a gov. I wish other southern gov will follow suit.

I just love this man. The only sensible politician in sw.

Thank u Gov Fayose, a true Son of Yoruba land for not going to the affected area and cowardly declare 3days of fasting and prayer, but come out with a true reality check for these criminals called Fulani herdsmen.

I hope other southern Governors will follow suit, not sycophants though!!!

This is good

This is the boldest move yet to end the menace of this rampaging herdsmen.Other southern Governors should follow suit.Well done Oshokomole!!! Your mama born you well

Good solution for once. Any cow seen will be used for stomach infrastructure.
state government can open ranches and collect taxes to boost their IGR. All states can actually don this.
Fayose remains an Ekiti mistake though.

Excellent mark for Fayose.

where is Lalasticlala when you need him

yesoo ranching will make it easier to enforce taxing of the herdsmen thus boosting the state revenues

"Fayose only impresses illiterates. He's never in the news for laudable projects, he's is either riding bike, cutting ponmo or insulting the Federal Government.

Fayose is the tragedy that happens when Ekiti people chose 'rice' and a 'bastard' over an educational colossus like Fayemi. What a disaster!"
- Olusegun Obasanjo.

Peter Ayodele Fayose, the rock jutting out among a sea of mud.


This here is a leader unlike those fools in Enugu and Benue who are too chicken heart to come out and speak up against evil acts committed on their people.


I heard the Benue governor's village was sacked by fulanis a few weeks back.

The same idi0t that organised a peace treaty with fulanis and his Tivi people that saw Tivi farmers hand in their weapons to the army and police.

Just last week his SA on security was brutally murdered by hausa fulani security officers in his village in what seemed like a vendetta assassination.

Then there is that fool in Enugu who thought all his weeping and tears will bring back the over 100 villagers massacred by Fulanis in Nimbo, Enugu.

Fayose, you were not meant to be a politician but a leader and a General.

Ride on.

Obasanjo the son of an igbo army sergeant is calling some one a bastard?

Obasanjo that does not even command respect among his own children?

Obasanjo that sees nothing wrong in sleeping with his daughter in law?

Obasanjo the biggest crook and thief?

Guy if you must quote some one why Obasanjo?

Even Shekau's condemnation of Fayose is more credible than that bastard thief obasanjo.

Taxes and rent. I never even thought the solution was this simple sef.
seize all straying cattles. rent out portions of land. tax d cattle rearers and sellers, one stone killnmany birds and peace reigns farmers can go back to farm. sefini.

Fayose is the leader of Yoruba race......

Obasanjo and Tinubu can go and die.....

Awolowo committed suicide

Gen. Dimka knelt and begged his junior for his life..

Ogundipe fled to London when becoming the head of state was his birthright

Maj. Gen Kuti fled on sighting bokoharam

you need to see him on his way to Oke Ako this morning with his entourage. I met him in front of Ekiti state teaching hospital. With truck loads of mobile police and military guys,I knew he was poised for war with those Fulani guys. Fayose is fearless when it comes to stuffs like that. He is itching to send some Fulani men to jail for life. I hope when he starts dealing with them,some people will not come up with nonsense

This is commendable

this fayose tho......still dont trust him

cattle grazing is deferent from cattle sales, warning they can sell cattle's in all the 36 States in their cattle market but not to start rearing or grazing cattle's in the southern states its not acceptable.

the north is big enough to carter for their cattle if we must tell ourselves the truth. they claimed that they own 85% land mass with the fake Nigeria map. and yet the north is not enough for cattles this calls for problems. they are gradually pushing towards the South.

if we want to buy cattle we will call them and buy from them. but to start rearing or grazing cattle in our land the south is not acceptable.

we found ourselves in this mess because many governors are Fulani a.ss lickers. more governors like fayosa and mimiko is needed.

The best news this month.

Our able Governor Ayo Nwannedinamba Fayose has thrown the gauntlet now let's see what Buhari the President of Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba Moslems will do.

All the other Governors who have folded their bloody hands as savage Fulani herdsmen raze their communities and massacre their people will all die in the hands of these herdsmen.

Ayo Fayose for President and God bless the United States of Biafra!

Fayose

Fayose d gr8

Dayum..Fayose is firing on all cylinders! Way to go!

Surulere.
