Southwest govs, monarchs back ban on open grazing, secure borders

*How Gambari, IGP, DSS DG’S absence nearly stalled Ibadan summit
*Miyeti Allah threatens to send southerners packing from North if govs insist on sacking herders

The Southwest governors and leading traditional rulers from the geopolitical zone spoke with one voice yesterday on the increasing rate of insecurity in the area.

They expressed total support for the ban on open grazing.

The stakeholders, who had an extraordinary meeting on the security challenge in the Southwest, also asked the federal government to secure Nigeria’s borders.

The meeting, which was hosted by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, was almost stalled by the absence of the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari; the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; and the Director-General of the Department of State Services.

They could not fly out of Abuja on account of bad weather.

In Bauchi, the local chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeder’s Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Sadiq Ibrahim Ahmed, warned that it would resist any attempt by southern governors to send Fulani herdsmen away from their territory.

The stakeholders at the Ibadan meeting in a three-point communiqué at the end of their deliberations, “supported the decision of the National Economic Council (NEC) on forest management,” and stressed the need for the federal authorities to fully secure and protect Nigeria’s borders.

They asked the media to “assist the country to end fake news.”

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State and chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum, who spoke at the end of the meeting, said although the meeting was at the instance of the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari; the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, the trio could not fly out of Abuja due to bad weather.

He said that the governors and the traditional rulers thereafter decided to meet to appraise the security situation in the zone.

The meeting, which was held at the Executive Council Chambers of the Governor’s office, Agodi, Ibadan, had in attendance five governors including the host, Governor Makinde; Governors Akeredolu of Ondo, Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, Gboyega Oyetola of Osun and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.

The meeting also had in attendance the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Southwest, David Folawiyo, and security chiefs serving in Oyo State.

Others included the chairmen of Council of Traditional Rulers in each of the Southwest states and some first class monarchs.

According to Akeredolu, the meeting was held to find lasting solutions to the lingering security issues in the zone.

The meeting was also attended by Governors Mohammed Abubakar of Jigawa State and Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State.

It followed the Ondo State Government order that criminals occupying government forest reserves should quit immediately.

We’ll send Southerners packing from North if their govs insist on evicting herders – Miyeti Allah

The Bauchi State chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Sadiq Ibrahim Ahmed, vowed yesterday that the association would resist any attempt by Southern governors to evict herdsmen.

He said it would be tit for tat by the north should the herders be evicted from the south.

Speaking to The Nation yesterday, Ahmed said: ‘’Everyone has the right to live anywhere he or she wants.

“In fact, herdsmen, based on their activity of pastoralism, own every part of Nigeria. So why should anyone go against the constitution?

‘’If the southern governors insist on sending our people away, we will have no option than to send their people packing too.

“We are no fools. We are only studying the situation. We are all human beings.

“If the leaders want to cause problems, they should not forget about the ordinary citizens.

“For now, we will remain loyal and we will also educate our people on the need for peaceful cohabitation. We won’t act like the foolish governors.

“If the custodians of law say there is no law, then are we the ones to uphold the law? We are only trying to protect our integrity for now.

“Besides, we can survive on our own because we produce our own food. Aside former President Olusegun Obasanjo in the Southwest, who else can feed up to 100 people?”

Sadiq, who added that any killer herdsman arrested should be severely dealt with, said the association will never encourage any criminality by herdsmen in the South.

Northerners will be the biggest looser.

Some of your people that are occupying lucrative position in the south will also quit and move to the north.

This is just a cheap way to blackmail the south.

Miyetth Allah are Bunch of fools which north are they talking about count north central out of your woes instead of embracing ranching your busy harping the message of war fools

Google is your friend.

Those crazy Northern elites/ politicians are the problems of the country. They sre all evil.

Mayatti Allah don become jagaban for Nigeria .

Siwisheswereesh:


You fought foolishly. You fought a war you stood no chance of winning. And you think Yorubas will follow your foolish footsteps

Is the yeast not already conquered by Fulani herdsmen with ESN decimated

Ilorin rebelled against Oyo before Fulanis came. They were already independent.

Yewas in Ogun state are being used as political pawns by the governor. But they will be alright.

What else

SORRY, EMIR OF OYO IS NEXT. KISS THE TRUTH

Abi, especially NPA, customs, nnpc etc.
They will also loose our taxes from alcohol, businesses etc. Revenue from southern ports too. Let them eat their deseased cows, we will open ranches and in the meanwhile import quality beef from Brazil, Australia and USA. Soft beef you can use for steak not the crap they sell to us that have become strong from treaking. Beef that you loose a tooth from biting. Imported beef is even cheaper.

I hate involving myself in these types of childish arguments

THE ENTIRE MIDDLE BELT, MUST RISE TO BURN DOWN FULANI SETTLEMENT.



THEY ACT AS LAUNCH PAD FOR TERRORISM.





IF THEY TRY ANY NONSENSE, THEIR WILL BE A BLOOD BATH AND FULANI WILL LEAVE MIDDLE BELT.





THE MIDDLE BELT MUST JOIN THEIR SOUTHERN BROTHERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FULANI.



TOGETHER WE WILL TRIUMPH OVER OUR ADVERSARIES.

see this useless fool by the time the full fight start we will show you that north central belong to north.I reside in Niger State,an I see myself as northerner!

Any Southerner still living in the Sahara desert is doing so at his own risk. I wonder how humans can be living with blood sucking vampires.

What is so important and lucrative in the north? Besides,do other ethnic groups still live there?Even the agriculture they are claiming to own are not free.We pay through our nose to buy them,unlike crude oil that has make the northern politicians and their families become billionaires.

GamalNasser:
What is any sane southerner even doing in the north

Love of money, the root of all evil. Imagine human living with vampires.

Ever8090:
I beg if the headsman are relocating from South to North, they should make sure they go straight to the north without lingering around the middle belt region..

....this impunity must end...

where is the middle belt, list the states and give me the percentage of muslims and fulani people in all the so called middle belt. the only middle belt state that I know is Benue and some parts of southern Kaduna,southern plateau.

nedu666:
Only southern folks with mumuish brains are in the north.

Its not like that, because some southerners have good investment in the north.

Everyone has a right to live anywhere in Nigeria but the farmers you are killing have a fundamental right to life and pursue lawful business like farming without threat to their rights by individuals or governments.

Those who put the song of right-to-live-anywhere in their mouths should have told them anywhere doesn't include anyhow. Living anywhere is contingent on other laws. There are other provisions of our constitution woven with this into our togetherness.

Right to live anywhere doesn't make it right to give cows free feeding from others' rightful business of crops production.

Because of your cattle, crops must be destroyed and farmers must be killed by you?

Whg can't you think beyond herding the horned beasts around on other people's existence and consider ranching them for more meat, milk, leather, etc production and get super rich?

Mikecold:
Million dollar question


They would tell you food is cheap there forgetting life is also cheap to extinguish there too

I love Nairalanders.

Fulani herdsmen should go back to the North, southerners should come back.

Freestainworld:
No wahala, the north will have to eat their cow and let the southerners be in peace.

Very simple

mauchiz:
Fulani herdsmen should go back to the North, southerners should come back.

FULANI SHOULD RETURN BACK TO FUTAJELON.



EVEN KANO AND SOKOTO, BELONG TO HAUSA PEOPLE.

Don't bother yourself on him, his matter is beyond human intervention

Farki:


Why did you ignore this part?

Do herdsmen own the crops on another person's farm?

Miyetti Allah dey craze.

Make we all leave the north from them make them rest.

No wahala we will eat our cows alone

habsydiamond:
illiteracy won't let them simply because they don't know what is right from wrong... And there is nothing as bad as that

Stop fooling yourself. If you know the educational qualification of these guys you will burn the paper you held as certificate. These people know what they are doing and they are not illiterate. The day you begin to realize that the Fulani has an agenda to dominate others politically, nationally and ethnically then you will begin to get prepare.

You said they are illiterate but they dominate you and understand your terrain more than you, they dominate your seat of power, they control your security architecture, they influence who become who in the country. Think again when you refers them as illiterate oga.
