Ado-Ekiti—Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has raised the alarm that some Fulani herdsmen have started a surreptitious move into the outskirts of Ekiti with an alleged aim to kill and maim people.
Gov Fayose with hunters from across Ekiti State.
Fayose, who said the move was targeted at rubbishing his anti-grazing law, said the invaders would be met with stiff resistance from the people of the state.
The governor said this, yesterday, when he met with local hunters from 16 local government areas of the state.
He therefore charged them to secure the state even as he promised to support them in the exercise.
Fayose, who was decked in full military camouflage at the meeting, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently declare rampaging herdsmen as terrorists.
Calling on the President to declare herdsmen terrorists, he said: “Mr. President, declare herdsmen as a terrorist group now, they are mindless and devilish.”
The governor, who equally hosted Benue indigenes residing in Ekiti, expressed his sympathy for them.
“I sympathise with our brothers, sisters and people from Benue State that are mourning the brutality of those who killed their kinsmen”, he said.
The governor, who observed a minute silence for the dead in Benue, said: “This (uniform dressing) is done to charge our hunters to secure the state. I saw pictures of the killings and I wondered if those were human beings. I asked the questions if people could kill human beings that way. They will find no peace. This is no tribal killing but that of mindless people. Blood of the departed will find those people and they won’t know peace. It is the duty of the federal government to protect its people. We are not protected.
“We have never had it so bad. People must come to leadership with conscience. The Federal Government should have sent the army not the police. Governor Ortom should fasten his belt and protect his people. Those seeking for help in Abuja would not find it because Abuja also needs help. I sympathise with you, this is your home and nobody would kill you. You are all safe here.”
Charging the hunters, who were excited to meet him, governor Fayose said: “ I have received letters that the Bororos have entered our reserves they want to violate our laws. I want to call on the attention of the federal government that they have come and wanted to kill men, kids and women in Ekiti. We will not allow that to happen. I want you hunters to go back to protect your people, be vigilant, and ensure everyone entering our state is screened.”
“No one in the guise of grazing should enter our land after 8pm. For our brothers who harbour criminals, tell them Ekiti is a no go area. If your plan is to make this state ungovernable you are wasting your time. I have called this meeting for everyone to be vigilant. I will begin to support you now to secure Ekiti.”
He, however, warned the hunters not to take “laws into your hands but defend our people.”

Dear South East governors,

You are in the opposition party, the same party as Fayose, yet you cannot secure your territories and fight off Buhari's kinsmen. Rather, you host 7 days fasting and prayer at stadium and Okpara Square. If state executive actions are not taken into consideration against these terrorists, there might be no people in your state to vote come 2019.

Lalasticlala over to you.

cool

Mr bigot... Fulani are there even before pmb dream of ruling.
They were slaying innocents and here u are accusing someone determined to resolve this crises. For once plz lets be united in these trying times.

Ride on sir.

Afonja thinking of igboman even when the topic is about Fayose and killer herdsmen.

Igbo people don show afonja pepper, dem don go afonjaland, collect all their major markets, win elections, buy all their lands. Now igbos are planning to start buying villages and local governments areas.
