Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu on Monday came hard on his counterpart, Governor Bala Mohammed of BauchState for justifying the usage of arms by Fulani herdsmen.

Mohammed, last week had said herdsmen bearing AK-47 are forced to do so because the government has failed to secure their lives and livelihood.

However, speaking on Channels Television programme ‘Politics Today’ monitored by Daily Independent, Akeredolu said Bala Mohammed did not act as a statesman and his statement is capable of further igniting the crisis.

“Certainly, Bala Mohammed has not spoken as a statesman. He probably lost out as to what his reaction should be. How will a governor in this country today come out and say people should be allowed to carry arms when it is illegal ?”

“And not just mere arms, he said they should go about with AK-47 when even carrying some double-barreled gun is illegal. So, people are not licenced to carry guns but Bala Mohammed is suggesting to us that they should be able to carry it. For what purpose?”

“ Bala Mohammed has even poured more petrol into the fire because his speech is unexpected of him. any statesman or governor should not speak that way. You ask herdsmen to carry guns to protect themselves, so I should also ask my people to carry guns to protect themselves”.

“ If that happens, it is going to be very serious and nobody will be spared. So, statements like that should be condemned and I condemned it” he said.

I was expecting such statement from

Gov Hell Rufai

I’m not surprised how Northern Governors speak

They are all concerned about 2023

I Was Thinking It Is Bala's White Beard That Is Affecting His Thinking Faculty.
But You (Akeredolu) Has More White Beard Than Him.
So I Was Wrong About Him

Tell him sir

That Baala of a man isn't wise.

Don't mind the stupid idiot.

What I like is the question that Ortom asked him... "Which law in Nigeria allows herdsmen to carry AK47 for self defense?"

Stupid idiots with fura da nunu for brains

Tell the bastard mr akeredolu bcuz there will be bloodbath and no one will be spared even the foolish governor that hope there is protection for him will be wasted

My happiness is that Nigeria will soon disintegrate
