Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State on Tuesday declared herdsmen carrying guns as criminals, insisting that his administration will not tolerate herdsmen carrying guns in the state.

Obiano said this while addressing a security meeting comprising security operatives, traditional rulers, youths, and other stakeholders in the 181 communities in the state, he said it was unwise to treat such herdsmen with levity because they are dangerous to the society.

According to him, after the last census of herdsmen conducted in the state, there were 77 of them in 2020 and directed the state Commissioner of Police to conduct a fresh census, adding that once the exercise was concluded, the state would no longer tolerate itinerant herders in Anambra State.

In his words;

“By last year, there were 77 registered herdsmen in the state and I want the CP and the security committee to do a new census.

"The census will give us their names, phone numbers, and their addresses, and when we do that it will enable us to know when another herder strolls into the state.

“Any herdsman that carries...SEE ALL

Give evidence of trial?

Nobody will arrest a herdsman caught with human skull of a kidnap victim talk more of try them.

We know who sent them southwards to build kidnap camps in our forests and use those locations to keep kidnapped southerners for ransom and rape the women. That is why we will stop at nothing until all those camped in our farms and forests leave.

If they like they can twist the narrative or distract the issue saying we are attacking Hausa quarters in our cities. Every Hausa person knows we have never attacked legitimate Hausa quarters in our towns and cities. We go straight into the farms and forests to chase out the recalcitrant herdsmen who built illegal camps in our forests and farms to do kidnapping business. Whether these herdsmen are Nigerians or are from Central Africa or Niger Republic, they must leave the farms and forests of the south!

Pierocash:
But I do not think Hausas are the problem. It is the Fulanis and their herdsmen.

PROUDIGBO:
It’s almost like the present Abia gov’t is starting from scratch! You then have to wonder what the two Orjis’ did in that state for a whole 16 freaking years!

Someone should help us tell the gov’t to green up all these new roads they’re constructing with trees (where space permits), carpet grass and shrubs!

BREAKING!!! Southeast Governors Ban Open Grazing

By Wisdom Nwedene

The Governor of the Ebonyi State and Chairman Southeast Governors' Forum, Engineer David Umahi says the zone had banned open grazing of cattle in the zone.

IGBERE TV reports that Governor announced this during an APC stakeholder meeting at the Christian Ecumenical Centre Abakaliki.

The Governor who said the Southeast Governors' Forum had also banned the movement of cows by foot into the zone enjoined leaders to exhibit patriotism in their conduct to guarantee the unity of the Country.

"We are living in a dangerous time, without patriotism to our nation Nigeria, it is very difficult to have a peaceful time"

He called on leaders and stakeholders of the zone to speak up and desist from playing politics with the Security of the zone and nation.

"Governors of South East have been calling on our leaders to speak out on the Security of the zone and unity of Nigeria, I read on paper where someone said he was giving Governors of South East 7-days to ban open grazing, the Governors of southeast had banned open grazing and movement of cows by foot into South East, in each of States of the South East, we are managing ourselves well, what we discuss with the herdsmen is the system in place for a long time"

The Chairman of the southeast Governors' Forum cautioned people of the zone against instigating crises in the country through the dissemination of fake videos alleging killing of Fulanis by IPOB in the South East.

"What our people must know is that Security is not political, what is demanded of the leaders is to put up programs that favors the people and foster national unity"

Gov. Umahi announced his support for the call to flush out criminal elements from forests across the nation to boost the security of the country.

"In our forests today, we have the kidnappers, herdsmen, cultists, all sorts of criminals, anybody staying in the forest is taking a risk, when we say that people should move out of the forests, it is for their safety and security, so I support that kidnappers, herdsmen, cultists, and bandits should be flushed out of our forests"

The Governor used the occasion to officially flag off the APC Revalidation and Registration Committee and charged the Caretaker Committees to ensure the successful conduct of the exercise.

He thanked stakeholders of the party for attending the meeting and observing the COVID19 protocol, insisting that the State remains APC.

"Let me thank our leaders for their commitment to the welfare of our party; Ebonyi State is complete and Ebonyi State is APC"

Earlier, the Acting Chairman of APC in the State, Chief Stanley Emegha said the meeting was convened to find a way of upgrading the membership of the party in the State and called on the stakeholders to support the exercise to fully reintegrate the State to the next level.

"We have made it clear that Ebonyi is APC and the National will be expecting us to prove it, proving it is by us coming out and participating in the exercise massively, make whatever sacrifice to the betterment of the State because we must use the exercise to prove a point that Ebonyi State is APC and APC is Ebonyi State"

Inaugurating the State and Local Government Area Caretaker Committee members of the exercise, the Chairman of the exercise in Ebonyi State, Chief Chima Onyekwere expressed hope that the exercise of membership Revalidation and Registration would produce an Igbo President in 2023.

He appealed to Local Government Chairmen to collaborate with the Caretaker Committees to ensure the success of the exercise in their areas.

Highlights of the meeting were the adoption of Local Government Area nominees for Federal Board appointments and empowerment among others.
