Governor Rotimi Akeredolu on Wednesday slammed President Muhammadu Buhari’s opposition to his directive for herdsmen to vacate Ondo forests, saying it pointed to a threat to the corporate existence of Nigeria.

Peoples Gazette earlier reported that Mr. Akeredolu gave the herdsmen a seven-day ultimatum to vacate the forest reserves on basis that criminal acts were traced to their activities.

Reacting, Mr. Buhari, in a statement by his media aide, Shehu Garba, on Tuesday, said the governor lacked powers to drive the herdsmen away from the forests.

Mr. Akeredolu’s “action could set off a chain of events which the makers of our constitution foresaw and tried to guard against,” the president said.

On Wednesday morning, Mr. Akeredolu’s information commissioner Donald Ojogo expressed his displeasure at Mr. Buhari’s reaction, accusing him of being emotionally attached to the herdsmen.

Mr. Ojogo in a statement said that the president’s response stated “unambiguously, the position of the Federal Government.”

While buttressing Mr. Akeredolu’s order, the commissioner said: “The Ondo State Government did not ask Fulani to leave the state. The governor said herdsmen who are unregistered should leave our forests.

“The statement from Garba Shehu is a brazen display of emotional attachments and it’s very inimical to the corporate existence of Nigeria.



“We need clearly defined actions on the part of the Federal Government to decimate the erroneous impression that the inspiration of these criminal elements masquerading as herdsmen is that of power. Our unity is threatened, no doubt.

“It (statement) states in a breath that the governor fights crime with passion while it is prevaricating on the atrocities.

“The question is, are the herdsmen who are perpetrating murder, kidnapping, and robbery more important than government and even the Federal government in this case?

“Ethnic nationality and activism on the part of anyone hiding under the Presidency or federal government is an ill wind.”

Thank God our people are speaking out, just because we are in same party doesn't mean we will allow bullshit from you

The ‘makers of our constitution’ are no more than a bunch of Fulani overlords and their efulefu lackeys! So give us a break on all that ‘constitution’ rubbish! If Nigeria had something close to a true people’s constitution like we had pre-‘66, there wouldn’t be all these agitations and discontent all over the place!

ChangetheChange:
This one loud.
E scatter table finish
Buhari Zombies will call Governor Akeredolu a IPOB agent and working for PDP

Very easy to solve, why not pass a ban, no eating of cow meat in southern Nigeria for 120 days let us see if the so called Fulanis will not leave? but the people shouting on Nairaland will never agree, they will come with the conspiracy theory that President Buhari wants to starve them to death, that they must eat cow meat, thereby supporting the so called people they are purporting to criticize? Hypocrisy.

let them know Mr governor

On a more serious note the Gov has done nothing wrong here

protecting his people is his primary duty and if asking the fulánis to leave the forest or stay im the forest but register so the people will know who and who reside in their forest, will bring peace and stop the senseless killings and destruction of farmers hard work then it should be a welcome idea

or do they expect him to stay put do nothing while his people suffer

Only an efulefu will Mention colonization Constitution of 1959, 1979 amended 1999 constitution is excellent, fifa should cancel the World Cup because no African team can win it?, don’t hate the player, hate the game, there is nothing wrong with our constitution, a Failure will always be a Failure, no constitution in the world is perfect, is the application that matters, not just the words written, that is why the wise look more at the interpretations.

The CIA said it is not Noriega’s fault, if there is no demand for cocaine in the United States, there would be no narcotics trade from Panama, it is not the herdsmen’s fault, if there is no demand for cow meat in southern Nigeria, there will be no herdsmen wahala.

Go & sell pigs in Northern Nigeria let us see how successful you would be? Sacrifice, stop eating cow meat the herdsmen will disappear, but that word “sacrifice” is not in your curriculum just empty rhetoric talk, you want to have your cake, & eat it too?

Akeredolu should stick to his words... What Same makers of the Nigeria Constitution guided against is what the Ful-errorist are usurping. Same constitution that gives the Governor rights to lands on the confines of his state but strips him constitutional liberty to exercise authority or expel Intruders/terrorists.... is that one a constitution?

On Wednesday morning, Mr. Akeredolu’s information commissioner Donald Ojogo expressed his displeasure at Mr. Buhari’s reaction, accusing him of being emotionally attached to the herdsmen.


The bold is the battle we've been fighting ever since the resumption of Buhari's administration in 2015.

Brilliant you have read the provisions of the Constitution 1999 (As Amended).


41. (1) Every citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely throughout Nigeria and to reside in any part thereof, and no citizen of Nigeria shall be expelled from Nigeria or refused entry thereby or exit therefrom.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section shall invalidate any law that is reasonably justifiable in a democratic society-

(a) imposing restrictions on the residence or movement of any person who has committed or is reasonably suspected to have committed a criminal offence in order to prevent him from leaving Nigeria; or

(b) providing for the removal of any person from Nigeria to any other country to:-

(i) be tried outside Nigeria for any criminal offence, or

(ii) undergo imprisonment outside Nigeria in execution of the sentence of a court of law in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty:
Provided that there is reciprocal agreement between Nigeria and such other country in relation to such matter.

The bolded above is conclusive, it is final, Akeredolu cannot expel anybody, that is why the Hausa Fulani always have the upper hand, they know the provisions of the Constitution, Southerners think they are too brilliant & will not bother to read, & will keep losing every time based on ignorance of The Law.
