Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has quoted President Muhammadu Buhari as giving governors a directive to ensure people do not block “cattle routes” in their states.

According to him, the president said: “People are building houses to block cattle routes.”

Fayose, who was speaking during a programme on Ekiti State Television (EKTV), said Buhari made the comments during the federal executive council meeting “last week”.

TheCable could not verify the time the meeting occurred because the programme was recorded.

Fayose said the president has not done enough to tackle the continuous clashes between farmers and herdsmen in the country, adding that “if I were to be president of Nigeria, I will not act the way President Buhari is behaving (regarding the crisis)”.

He said similar incidents have happened in countries like Ghana and “they took decisive decision”.

The Ekiti governor said: “The president must be courageous enough to end these mindless killings. He is the president and he has what it takes.

“If I am the president of Nigeria, I will take appropriate steps and stand it down. A criminal is a criminal, whether Hausa man or Yoruba man. If you commit crime, you go in for it.

“I remember when we were in a meeting last week, the president was saying that people are blocking cattle routes. Have you heard that before? How can the president say people are blocking cattle routes? There is no cattle route in Ekiti in the 21st century.

“The president of Nigeria was saying governors should go and make sure they don’t block cattle routes. He said people are building houses to block cattle routes. I was laughing, I didn’t know what to say in council. I just left.”

TheCable was unable to independently verify the governor’s claims as neither Femi Adesina nor Garba Shehu, both presidential spokespersons, responded to inquiries on the issue.

Toh

As a 'farmer', will I be given a 'farming route' in Kano?

Madness.

Our president has gone mad again!

WTF is cattle route ?? What kind of man is this

No wonder fulani killings is on the increase under buhari! See the absurd backing terrorist buhari is giving killer herdsmen?
But then what do we expect from a bigot and a brain dead president, champion of fulani supremacy over Nigeria
Who talks about Grazing Route in this 21st century where Ranching and Mechanized farming is the order of the day? If you ask them now they will say the fulanis killing people are foreigners from Libya, but then again, what audacity does this govt have to award Grazing Route to the so call Foreigners Buhari is the worst thing to have ever befall Nigeria!!

Buhari's APC govt should be held squarely responsible for fulani inspired killings all over this expired country! The statement by buhari to govs is the very reason why fulani marauding killers are sustaining attacks on helpless people. Their blatant refusal to embrace Ranching is because they have ulterior motives.

It is now obvious that buhari got nothing to offer.

Good question. Pig farmers too must be awarded with Pig Routes in Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

This govt is bereft of ideas. No creative solution to 21st century problems. IBB called it analog presidency !
