Herdsmen Can’t Leave Ondo Forest, Presidency Replies Akeredolu by Helpfromabove1(m): 9:49pm On Jan 19, 2021 |
The Presidency on Tuesday waded into the controversy generated by the directive of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, asking herdsmen to leave the state government forest reserves. In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President called for restraint on the side of the state government and the Fulani communities. In the statement titled, ‘In tackling crime, Ondo State Government will not act outside the constitution,’ the Presidency said the governor, being a legal practitioner, should not know that he cannot “unilaterally oust thousands of herders who have lived all their lives in the state on account of the infiltration of the forests by criminals”. The statement read, “The Presidency has been keenly monitoring events occurring in Ondo State and the ‘orders’ by the government of the state, ‘asking herders to vacate the forests in seven days.’ “What is clearly emerging, is a lack of consistency in messaging which in turn leads to various contradictions regarding accuracy and the intent behind the message. There is little to be said other than to call for restraint on both sides and urge the state government and the leadership of the Fulani communities to continue their dialogue for a good understanding that will bring to an urgent end, the nightmarish security challenges facing the state. Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, a seasoned lawyer, Senior Advocate of Nigeria and indeed, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, has fought crime in his state with passion and commitment, greater sensitivity and compassion for the four years he has run its affairs and, in our view, will be the least expected to unilaterally oust thousands of herders who have lived all their lives in the state on account of the infiltration of the forests by criminals. “If this were to be the case, rights groups will be right in expressing worries that the action could set off a chain of events which the makers of our constitution foresaw and tried to guard against. “We want to make it clear that kidnapping, banditry and rustling are crimes, no matter the motive or who is involved. But, to define crime from the nameplates, as a number of commentators have erroneously done- which group they belong to, the language they speak, their geographical location or their faith is atavistic and cruel. “We need to delink terrorism and crimes from ethnicity, geographical origins and religion—to isolate the criminals who use this interchange of arguments to hinder law enforcement efforts as the only way to deal effectively with them “The President, who swore to defend the constitution has spoken against the Indigenous People of Biafra in asking citizens of Northern origin to leave; he did not spare the group based in Sokoto, ‘Muslim Solidarity Forum,’ which asked the Bishop of Sokoto to leave and is prepared to do all that the law permits to protect citizens all over the country in their choice of where they wished to reside and are treated as equal citizens. The government of Ondo, and all the 35 others across the federation must draw clear lines between the criminals and the law abiding citizens who must equally be saved from the infiltrators. Beyond law and order, the fight against crime is also a fight for human values which are fundamental to our country.” https://punchng.com/herdsmen-cant-leave-ondo-forest-presidency-replies-akeredolu/

Presidency is now in full defense of terrorist herdsmen. We are yet to see the end if this herdsmen saga. The constitution that they like to quote was written by human beings and therefore can be taken down and burnt to ashes when the life of Nigerians are in danger. Amotekun must be armed to maintain law and order and to flush out terrorist from Yoruba land. 4 Likes |

Government that gives carrots to criminals while it gives sticks to law abiding citizens. The playbook of this government is to surpress all the dividend of democracy and support anti-democratic activities. Anyway, they voted for him, what is my own. They should explain to their children, how they supported this current government into power. Posterity will never forget their decision. 1 Like |

Ofcourse, the first class citizens are involved, so the cow presidency/govt will be swift to reply. Finally, these foreign outsiders are now above the law. They commit crimes with so much impunity...and they go scot free. The time to fight for our land is now...cos if we keep watching, waiting and cowering everytym ds govt spew their trash about co-habiting with dese bloodthirsty demons, we may not know when they would overrun us from our own lands.... especially since dey give birth like rabbits..and take over our forests without permission. It is now clear...ds Fulani govt has an agenda.. if you are not yet ready to defend urselves, OYO is ur case o. 1 Like |

I'm not surprised by Garba Shehu's statement since he could blame those farmers who were slaughtered in Borno by Boko Haram. Buhari's presidency always support criminal herdsmen for their evil agenda while leaving the innocent and defenless citizens to blame. |

I just say make i refresh your memory a bit. On 6th Feb. 2014 Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said: “As they campaign vigorously for elections, you would think, they are coming to grow the economy, enthrone justice, breed unity and tolerance, love for one another. No, they are coming to enthrone Hausa Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen in order to drive their ethnic domination of the south, the Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impurity and their masters will protect them. They are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do not believe me will soon see it happen before their eyes” ON 12 Oct 2014: “The Fulani will take over the entire south as a continuation of their age old agenda to Islamize Eastern Nigeria. They will brazenly seize our land in pretence of creating crazing fields for the Fulani. Then the conquest will be complete, we will become their slaves forever” On 6th Nov 2014 “Between Jonathan and Buhari, none is good for us. Freedom remains our only option, Jonathan is weak and confused, Buhari is a bloody thirsty tyrant, who will destroy the land with his parochial view point. His kinsmen will take over the military and the security architecture of the land. Christians and Easterners will become endangered species; He will use the security apparatus to advance the agenda of his ethnic group. My people will suffer” On 2nd Dec. 2014 “Then a group deadlier than Boko Haram will emerge, they will seize our farmland, rape our women, kill our people and their master will protect, defend and even arm them, because their sole agenda is to enslave us forever. Those who cannot see it now, will soon see it. The hatred in their souls for my people is legendary. They do not see us as humans. They kill, they slaughter, they burn and they destroy. Mindless bloodletting is in their DNA. My people are in trouble” On 16th Jan 2015 “Unity flows with love and mutual respect. This artificial unity with people who see you as an infidel and unbeliever is fake and dangerous. We are better off on our own. They kill with impunity, yet they say we must stay together. They have only one agenda, to chase away Jonathan and enslave us forever. They are coming with vengeance, anger and revenge for the years they stayed out of power. They plan to intimidate, silence and enslave us. Their world view is so strange and different from ours, we are in big trouble” On 15th March 2015 “All we ever wanted is freedom to realize our full potentials in the space of land God Almighty placed us in this planet, but there is persons whose agenda is to intimidate and dominate others. They hate freedom, justice and fair play. They enslaved Northerners for centuries, they want to extend and replicate this dominating culture down South. They use terror as a weapon of intimidation, they have no regard for non- Muslims, they hate us with passion, yet they won’t let my people go. Their only desire is to dominate and oppress others, once they are out of power; they immediately resort to either Pogroms (1966) Sharia law introduction (2000/2001) or Boko Haram (2011). They are enemies of peaceful co- existence. We want freedom, we respect justice and equity, and above all, we respect the sanctity of human live. These people do not; they use terror to intimidate and subdue in order to rule over everybody else” End of quotes. 1 Like |

Lmao. The same presidency that is yet to condemn the barbaric killings and kidnapping done by these same herdsmen. The writing on the wall has never been clearer. And its definitely a grand conspiracy most have no idea of.. Imagine playing the victim card in a situation where y'all are the obvious problem... This present government is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria next to the ill-fated amalgamation of 1914. A government that thrives on lies, deceit and propaganda. Absolute disgrace. Nobody has the monopoly of violence tho, call this inciting ion gv a shit. By the time ppl can't take it anymore and descend on these guys, even the good ones amongst them won't be spared... 1 Like |

Ondo state government said those that are hiding in the Bush, oloriburuku people said all thousands of heads men living in ondo state. See how they twist stories. Indirectly herdsmen are kidnappers. They just confirmed it. See the way they just rushed to defend them. That's why they are so afraid of amotekun. |
