Buhari's Aide, Garba Shehu Is A Major Supporter Of Terrorism, Killings By Herders —Southern Governors



The governors lambasted the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu and accused him of creating confusion in the polity.

The 17 Southern Governors in the country have replied the Presidency after it described their resolution to ban open grazing in the region as unconstitutional.

The governors lambasted the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu and accused him of creating confusion in the polity.

Reacting on behalf of the forum, the Chairman of the South West Governors Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu, said, "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."


Akeredolu, in a statement titled 'Mr Garba Sheu; On the Trail of An Agent Provocateur' and signed by his Senior Special Adviser on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr Doyin Odebowale, said Shehu "cannot continue to hide under some opaque, omnibus, and dubious directives to create confusion in the polity".

It also accused the Presidential aide of serving interests different from those of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The statement said, "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."



It continued, “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 travelers 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 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.

“lt 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”.

"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.

"May we warn Mr Garba Shehu and his cohorts to desist from hurling insults at the elected representatives of the people.

“He lacks the authority to make policy statements for the Federal Government, unless directed, expressly. His acts are clearly those of an agent provocateur. Other closet dreamers, aspirers to colonial fantasies, must be weaned off their delusion."

Way forward is the main solution, not pointing fingers

Ok

Every sensible Nigerian knows that Garbage Shehu is a well known terrorist who is in the mould of Osama Bin Laden and Shekau. The fool will never end well in life

Na WA o. Na so so big big English. It seems the Southern Governors are ready to wear this same trouser with the Fulani herdsmen. Let Ggatba Shehu respect himself

A mere/common political appointee like Garba Shehu.

May we warn Mr Garba Shehu and his cohorts to desist from hurling insults at the elected representatives of the people.

“He lacks the authority to make policy statements for the Federal Government

Still on cow matter, na cow matter we still dey settle oo. While other countries are talking about better things

Garba shehu right now!

Don't run!

Come and answer questions put forward to you:

Fifty years to come those Ruga settlements will become a big fulani cities with an installed Emir. That is the plan.

From the look of thinks, the Southern Governors are determined to stand their ground against forceful take over of their ancestral land.

If the government insists then there could be outbreak of another civil war which I doubt the federal government is able to win because they will become the minority against the majority.

Of course, the government has acquired weapons and placed themselves in key positions to loot funds in other to achieve there aims but they have forgotten their must be allies on both sides when it begins.

This is just my own personal opinion.

shoutherners should do their worst, no grazing will be ban, fulani must feed their cattle in the south. let ur non performing govnors continue to play politics while ur sons ipobs are killing u.

Kudos to Akeredolu. Indeed, I’m very proud of him. He exemplifies a typical brave and straightforward Omoluabi.

In addition, southern governors should immediately legalize the ban by passing an anti-open grazing law in all the states. A mere proclamation is not law and can’t be enforced. They should do the needful immediately.

Once the law is in place, we can start the enforcement. If Garba Shehu, Malami or even Buhari are not happy with the law, they should challenge it in court.

Let the southern state governors back it up with each state assembly banning it like Ondo state and back it up with court order.

FG are only making empty threat

Thank you Akeredolu... former nba chairman with complete sense..

Left for other idiotic governors they will cowardly manipulate the people and still allow open grazing

Wike should have led this .. only that he have sold his soul to the sultan.. with the blood of IPOB

He just challenged the President directives.
according to Garba Shehu

There’s no Buhari anywhere except for the cabal ..


Hope the picture is getting clearer

Akeredolu need direct express directives from Buhari not one Garba Shehu speaking for the presidency

We want the president to speak directly to Nigerians

.... not the presidency.

Very powerful a rebuttal. Taking advantage of the President's mental health to issue policy statements to further a sectional interest is one step too far. Garba Shehu needed to be reminded that he is a mere political appointee with no executive authority and the Governors are the most powerful after the President.
Akeredolu has proven over again that not only is he very intellectual but also a worthy leader among his peers.

All northerners are boko haram.

These fools as governors are just seeing the game plan today. What This IPOB Leader has been warning all of you since, you are just seeing today.

I have found that Mazi Kanu is just the bravest man to live in Africa. You governors are the reason Fulanis don't regard you all.

Why do you southerners hate people that tell you the truth?

Shame on all of you.

What a sweet reply to garbage sheu gibberish,southern governors have started getting balls, both apc/pdp governors no longer say yes sir yes sir to aboki presidency perhaps they have realised that buhari is just there as a figure head his soul and sense has departed him for long

Aboki shut up. When mere messenger garbage shehu throw his own blow to legally elected 17 southern govs I didn't see u make this post.

Grace001:

Garba shehu right now!

This is not about cows. This is about Fulani expansionist agenda. You can see where he said "different society coexist". They are trying to grab southern lands under the guise of cows.

Lifestone:
Fifty years to come those Ruga settlements will become a big fulani cities with an installed Emir. That is the plan.

You get it. That is their grand plans. What they can't achieve under jihad, they want to use democracy to do it. Bunch of land grabbing terrorists.

We will not tolerate fulani people in our region anymore.

Of course, the Garba Shehu presidency is the one that openly supported the past atrocities and treasonable activities of malam Isa Pantami even defiantly telling Nigerians that there is nothing they can do about it.

Headline does not match the content.
Kudos to Aketi anyway.
