“I, however, appeal to the affected communities to remain calm and peaceful. I commiserate with the communities and families on the unfortunate loss of their loved ones.


“I have directed the Commissioner of Police and the Brigade Commander, 63 Brigade, Nigerian Army, to rise to the occasion and bring the culprits to justice.

“As a state, our people have been very receptive to herdsmen and other visitors, but our hospitality and welcoming disposition should not be taken as an act of cowardice.

“The state government will continue to encourage peaceful and harmonious relations between Deltans and their visitors but will not watch outsiders attack and kill our people any longer.

So sad.

You are calling on police and army that you said accompanied them.

Don't get your speaker to pass very strict anti-open grazing laws.

Oohhh.. South and cowardly Governors.

The other day, it was the governor of Enugu crying.

Governor, Deltans voted you to protect them, lip service is not enough.

You should have been in Aso Rock now meeting Buhari to ask him "Why are your people KILLING my people".
