GOVERNOR AKEREDOLU RESPONDS TO GARBA SHEHU

“Mr Garba Shehu just released a press statement purporting to represent the position of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, on the farmer-herder 'clashes' and what he termed as 'Deep Rooted Solutions' to the herdsmen attacks.

He also attributed a unilateral decision to the President who clears the way for ranching and revival of forest reserves as part of the permanent solution to the frequent clashes between them, as well as the associated problem of the gun-wielding killer-herdsmen.

Anyone who has been following the utterances of this man, as well as his fellow travellers on the self-deluding, mendacious but potentially dangerous itinerary to anarchy cannot but conclude that he works, assiduously, for extraneous interests whose game plan stands at variance with the expectations of genuine lovers of peaceful coexistence among all the peoples whose ethnic extractions are indigenous to Nigeria.

Mr Garba must disclose, this day, the real motive(s) of those he serves, definitely not the President. He cannot continue to hide under some opaque, omnibus and dubious directives to create confusion in the polity. The easy recourse to mendacious uppity in pushing a barely disguised pernicious agendum is well understood.

The declaration that the recommendations of the Minister of Agriculture, Alhaji Sabo Nanono, a mere political appointee like Garba Shehu, are now the 'lasting solutions' which eluded all the elected representatives of the people of the Southern part of the country, exposes this man as a pitiable messenger who does not seem to understand the limits of his relevance and charge.

Mr Garba contends that 'their announcement is of questionable legality,' referring to the 17 Governors of the Southern States, but the decision of certain elements to take the ancestral lands of other people to settle their kinsmen, including the 'gun-wielding' 'killer herdsmen' and their families, and provide 'veterinary clinics, water points for animals, and facilities for herders and their families including schooling through these rehabilitated reserves' for which 'the Federal Government is making far-reaching and practical changes allowing for different communities to co-exist side-by-side,' does not appear to him as a comprehensive plan for land grabbing, a precursor to internal colonialism.

He wants to 'revive forest reserves but seems particularly uninterested in the current position of the same law, that he and his cohorts often misinterpret to serve parochialism and greed. Governors no longer have powers over the lands in their territories. They must take instructions from appointees of the Federal Government on such matters.

It is superfluous, and that is being charitable, for anyone to remind us of the constitutional right of bona fide citizens 'to enjoy rights and freedoms within every one of our 36 states (and FCT)-regardless of their state of birth and residence.'

He said further that there has never been any contention on this provision. It is clear that Mr Garba seems to have issues understanding the difference between licentious criminality and qualified rights under our law. It is our duty to continually nudge him off his current state of cognitive dissonance. His pronouncement betrays dubiety and mischief.

Most traditional families in Nigeria have occupations. Pastoralism is not an exception. Any ethnic group still trapped in anachronism may be assisted to embrace modernity. Dispossessing communities of their ancestral lands, encouraging denizens of the forests to overrun lands belonging to other people and forcing alien bands of migrants on the local populace to live 'side-by-side' with other communities cannot be for the purpose of animal husbandry. It raises suspicion on a grand, deliberate, persistent and insidious design to use naked force to subjugate the real owners of the land. Mr Garba Shehu is a major supporter of the current pervasive anarchy in the land.

His acts are clearly those of an agent provocateur. Other closet dreamers, aspirers to colonial fantasies, must be weaned off their delusion. No inch of the space delineated and known, currently, as South-West, and indeed the whole South will be ceded to a band of invaders masquerading as herdsmen under any guise.”

- Rotimi Akeredolu SAN (Governor of Ondo State, APC)

I'm not disputing your opinion. Cattles should be given a grazing route not just banning.

The major stakeholders like the herders union. Local government authority. The local rulers should have a meeting before making such an hasty decisions.

What is grazing route
Are u aware is only in Nigeria we still talk about grazing route?

Nice one

Bendeco02:

Mumu... If observed well you're Yoruba man.

Why not allow them to graze only in your region and ignore other states that ban them.

Cowards that always supports their oppressor yet claims to be sophisticated. Worse comes to worst, atiku will win 2023 so that your jagaban will understand fully that he's mumu for all he has done to get fulani support even when they keep attacking and killing his people.

Which one come be your own , no be ipob you be? Ahh!

What other plans does he have to help herders in the state.

Typical Anambra man solution. You have to create alternative for herders else there will be clash and resentment.

You be mumu, I swear

Wat stops them from getting a land, either they buy or pay rent for the place then stay in one place nd establish their ranch. Must the government spoon feed them

Good one chilled Bear for you man ,it Will help you in checking security situations there

The herders should go into rashing. This is 21st century.

I hope you don't have ambition to contest for presidency in future.
The north will never forget whatever you do now to make cows unhappy

Does he own the cows?

Herdsmen should find solution to their Business. Open grazing is simply unlawful.

Young man , the north cite the banning of alcohol due to religious reasons and rightly so.

Why anambra is banning because of their soil . Please respect them for their choices because they too deserve to live.

Well said.

Oga which plans please? For a personal business? If the herders are serious they should buy land, establish their business and register it not using their cattles to enroach on people's farms causing nausience everywhere.

Giving them people's land? Are u for real? Why can't they buy land if they are serious or better still give them Ur father's land to graze on it.

You guys are so predictable.
How many billions will be enough to placate the criminals(yes, open grazing is a criminal offense )?

Faber:
Okay, that's a good one, if you allow them to be roaming the streets, they will be causing problems, locals will be giving it to them woto woto and you will be paying for damages like the drunkard Okezie Ikpeazu.


Truly this one don wake up. Now I understand the true meaning of this pictures.


It's been long I heard from Miyetti Allah. They are now lying low. Conducting themselves well. So that Nigerians will forget about them and then vote their own Atiku. Once Atiku wins, they will spring up again in full force

You're either a very mischievous person who wants to pass a misleading narrative or you're just daft.

Soludo did the right thing here and I'm so proud of him for taking such bold steps. However, linking it with IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu or even the presidential election is madness.

Shame on you!!!

,Good moves for the Soludo (the solution to Anambararians). How i wish other Eastern Governors like Ikpeazu, Umahi, Uzodinma and Ugwuanyi will learn from him���

See your stupid statement, that's why I love the igbos more than you people, two face beings

So even though he might harbour presidential election or whatsoever, he should think like a cow and make his state lawless and backward..


No wonder most of them are willing to live this contraption

So you can enjoy your sophistication thinking
Demonic thought

Did Kano create an alternative for Burukutu? Get a truck or buy land to keep them. The government don't have any business in helping one sector that is not willing to change.

y must they carry cows come down here? Have you seen sheep or goat rearers carry them to North, go abroad and see how cows are been reared.

Soludo Solution
Any free grazing cattle becomes suya
Enough of Fulani domination
God bless Anambra
God bless Ala Igbo

In Holland were they produce peak milk. Do you see or hear that they move cattles from Rotterdam to Amsterdam?

What are herders doing in Anambra state in the first place? Herders should go back to where they came from.

"Cattle should be given a grazing route". The grazing route should pass through your compound then. Instead of being reasonable you're sounding foolish. Have you ever heard the word RANCHING? The old grazing route passed through your father's house. It should be revived so that you build another house in the air. Ganduje asked Fulani herders to return to Kano that there's enough land and pasture for their cattle. Why have they refused to comply? Find out.

the headers should buy land and train their cattles. Other Nigerians doing business in North do the government provide them with free lands and houses ?
