Receiving the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin Welby in London Wednesday, President Buhari said:

Responding to his guest's comment on the clashes between herdsmen and farmers in different parts of Nigeria, the President submitted:

"The problem is even older than us. It has always been there, but now made worse by the influx of armed gunmen from the Sahel region into different parts of the West African sub-region. These gunmen were trained and armed by Muammar Gadaffi of Libya. When he was killed, the gunmen escaped with their arms. We encountered some of them fighting with Boko Haram. Herdsmen that we used to know carried only sticks and maybe a cutlass to clear the way, but these ones now carry sophisticated weapons. The problem is not religious, but sociological and economic. But we are working on solutions."

President Buhari lamented that "irresponsible politics" has been brought into the farmers/herders’ crisis, but assured that enduring solutions would be found, and justice done to all concerned.

President Buhari blamed the recent herders crisis on the late
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who he said trained and
armed them.

When he was killed, the gunmen escaped with their
arms. We encountered some of them fighting with Boko
Haram. Herdsmen that we used to know carried only
sticks and maybe a cutlass to clear the way, but these
ones now carry sophisticated weapons.
The problem is not religious, but sociological and
economic. But we are working on solutions."

Violence between farmers and herdsmen have been one major problem in Nigeria,as it have claimed a lot of lives in recent times including women and children .

Brotherly, give me the job of minister of defense and you'll see how I'll send the so called Gaddafi's gunmen to Hades.
Ex-president Jonathan and president Buhari weakened the Nigerian Army with their devisive politics. But Buhari is the worst, imagine a former general and military head of state who promised to barnish bokoharam in two months!!.
