Buhari Not Sympathetic To Killer Herdsmen – Presidency by excelAGR42: 6:29am On Sep 06, 2018 |
The Presidency in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said there was no truth in the allegations of the media house. He said “We reject The Punch newspaper’s September 4th, 2018, editorial which alleged that President Buhari had sympathy for criminality perpetuated by a misguided group. “The editorial was not only disrespectful of the President and his office, but was also reckless, thoughtless, inflammatory and totally irresponsible. “It is steadily becoming clear from the views, news and opinions of this newspaper that it will explore every opportunity and twist every fact to declare every Nigerian and ECOWAS member with Fulani blood a terrorists, who must be stripped of their rights as citizens, or worse subjected to ethnic cleansing. “We believe and strongly insist that criminality perpetrated by some miscreants should not be used to demonize other responsible and decent members of the same ethnic group. “The collective demonization of any ethnic group because of the misguided behaviour or conduct of criminals is improper and no responsible government will ever do so.” He went on “The Punch editorial is, therefore, sheer blackmail and mischief designed to push its own sinister and unpatriotic agenda disguised as free speech. “By inciting the people against an ethnic group because of the criminal activities of a few is unhelpful and deleterious to peace. “Rather than proffer solutions, the editorial only regurgitated simplistic narratives of complex national issues, deliberately neglecting the broader and unbiased understanding and interpretation. “After the highly biased and misleading editorial, the newspaper could not but come to terms with the established fact that climate change and criminality remained key drivers of the farmers-herdsmen conflict. “Currently, a massive and fierce military operation is going on in Zamfara State to neutralise the activities of bandits who have been sacking communities and killing innocent people, and the security outfits have been deployed to safeguard lives and property.” He added, “In its attempt to build a case against the President and tarnish his hard-earned reputation, the newspaper misquoted and removed from the actual context words attributed to him, one or two of which we wish to clarify here. “In pointing out that some Nigerians, who dare the desert and the Mediterranean in order to migrate illegally to Europe have to blame themselves, the President had a context, following severe warnings by local authorities that were clearly being ignored. “The unfortunate Nigerians were always lured into harmful and unsafe journeys, with high likelihood of death or slavery. “The President said the ECOWAS protocol allows freedom of movement but Nigeria will not tolerate the illegality. An administration that paid USD500,000 to evacuate 3,000 stranded Nigerians in Libya and a similar amount to bring back those that went to Russia to watch the World Cup this year cannot, in all fairness, be accused of insensitivity to the plight of illegal migrants. “The question to ask the newspaper is simple: are we to say nothing, do nothing when our young citizens make the wrong choice of embarking on journeys that lead to slavery and death in the Mediterranean? “Is it out of place to warn of the dangers of such wrong decisions?” He said that for the second issue, the President could not have been wrong in drawing attention to negative, abrasive and insensitive reporting by a section of the press that threatens to jeopardize national security by draining the morale of uniformed men and women who are sacrificing their lives to keep the country united. “Without a safe, peaceful and stable country, it is difficult to imagine how newspapers can prosper in their trade. “Under this administration, no media, no matter how provocative, will be fettered in their freedom of expression. Rather, we will continue to appeal to their conscience to place national interest and professionalism above narrow concerns. “The Presidency advises members of the media to exercise restraint and good judgement for the larger good of the society. “We must not forget the significant and unsavoury roles played by journalists in the Rwandan genocide of 1994, which claimed almost one million lives. We should all work for the good of the country and all citizens.” Source : https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/buhari-not-sympathetic-to-killer-herdsmen-presidency/

Interesting analysis. I support the APC, and I support the Presidency. But I will be the first to say the President has a good bias towards his tribal men. All humans have biases. The Ibo's have had a permanent negative bias towards the Yoruba's after the civil war,and the feelings has been mutually returned. The Christian and Muslim view each with negative biases. We all have good biases towards our own tribes,and will defend them, no matter what atrocities they cause. Or did the Ijaws not nearly wipe out the Itsekiri population into extinction in the early 90's ?and till date no Ijaw man condemned it? President Buhari, you are a good man,and like all good people, have made mistakes too, by not coming hard on the Fulani Herdsmen early. Now that you have curtailed it, make sure it says curtailed. No need for any explanation again. 13 Likes 5 Shares |

Pmb is Directly and Indirectly Sympathetic to the Fulani Herdsmen Invasion and Destruction... Let's Analyse these... 1. Thousands if not Million if Lives Wasted and Massacred like Chicken and not a single one caught.. 2. Gen. Danjuma Nd others had to cry out that these guys have the backing of the Military Indirectly and Directly. 3. A General in the Army who had Being making headway and making some Arrest in Jos, all of a sudden was Transferred despite cries from Stakeholders.. 4. What Stops Pmb from Declaring a Full War on the Killers just like he did to the ipob boys with sticks.. 5. I watched a Video on how the Ghanaian president dealt with the Herdsmen Menance.. And Our dear Pmb is no near such action.. I Pity Nigerians calling for the Re-Election of Pmb... If it by any Chance happens, May the Killings begin From Their Houses.... All Nigerian needs now is a Stabilizing Candidate as a President that will land the Full force of the Military on any Group that formets Trouble . As Long as the Blood keeps flowing this way, There cannot be any Meaningful Development .. Good Morning Good Afternoon Good Evening , Depending on where u are.. 54 Likes 7 Shares |

How many arrest has been made since the beginning of these herdsman brouhaha? Most especially on the Benue saga. Action the say, speak louder than words. It is not what you say, but what you do tell people what you truly believe. Arrest was made on Igbos, arrest was made when fight broke out between host community in Ile ife (Osun State) and some hausa people. What's stopping the government from extending the same penalty against these criminals? 26 Likes 2 Shares |

If you say that PMB is not doing enough I'll agree with you, but being 'Sympathetic' to criminal tribal kismen? it doesn't appeal to critical thinking. Most times i try hard to picture it to my own self. Can i allow my criminal tribal kismen to destabilize the meeting I am the leader talk more of a country i govern irrespective of my love for them? Never! Not even my immediate family will try that shit. The narrative that PMB is sympathetic or behind the killer Fulani herdsmen is purely sensational targeted to score political point. |

bedspread: Buhari declare war on Herdsmen who are made up of mainly his Fulani tribe? How does anyone think that Buhari will do that to his own people, no matter how many they kill? In the case of IPOB made up mainly of Igbos, Buhari had no qualms sending all the Pythons after them because they are not from his ethnic group. IPOB was not even armed and didn't kill anybody Anybody who expects Buhari to declare his own people terrorists and send soldiers after them is someone who doesn't how much of a tribal bigot Buhari truly is 6 Likes 1 Share |
