Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has tried to justify attacks by Fulani herdsmen in the country.

Ribadu said the herders were being chased away from states in the country and denied opportunities for decent living.

His opinion came as the Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria accused other Nigerians of unfair treatment and lamented the unlawful killing and detention of its members.

Ribadu spoke on Monday, in Abuja, at a national conference on conflict resolution, titled, ‘Towards an Enduring Peace’, organised by The Nation newspapers and Television Continental (TVC).

In an emotion-laden speech, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain tried to absolve President Muhammadu Buhari of any form of complicity in the entire crisis between Fulani herders and farmers, stressing that certain people were merely maligning the president because he was a Fulani man.

The former anti-graft boss said it was unfortunate that Nigerian people hated the Fulani people so much that they branded them as common criminals because of their nomadic and pastoral nature.

He stressed that the Fulani herders were also Nigerians and had the right to coexist with other citizens.

He said the fact that other citizens all over the country saw them as enemies made the Fulani herders to be denied the opportunities to settle together with them and graze their cattle.

this is one of the ways where buhari has failed Nigerians.
our security sector is crap

Northerners are the problems of Northerners,

Take for instance, the pond in Jos , where they killed a General, if Army takes over on the order of the Fulani man in power, they will claim it's ethnic cleansing

Most of these fights and reprisals are born out of hatred and vengeance for century old crimes each communities have committed against each other !!


As for Potor residents claiming Buhari is shielding herdsmen, we know their brains is not always working

They not evenis Nigerians
They should be sent back to mali

Fulani herdsmen should bother themselves with deleting their name from the world's list as the fourth most dreaded terrorists first.

Till then just sharap stop making lifeless comments and search for your brain where you misplaced it.

this ribadu of a man is talking like someone on a codein diet.

why won't people chase the fulanis away? all the fulanis do is to forment trouble everywhere they go, the number of lives that have been lost to these evil beings is outrageous not to talk of the property they have wasted

the herdsmen are highly evil!!!
