Following the agreement reached by the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association and other stakeholders on vacation order issued to the herdsmen to leave the forest reserves in Ondo State, the government has said the herders have been moving out of the forest.

The governors and the MACBAN in the communique issued after their meeting on Monday agreed to support the Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’ s order on ban on night grazing, under-age grazing, movement of cattle along the highway and within the cities and herdsmen moving out of the forest reserves.

Speaking on the development on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Alhaji Jimoh Dojumo, said the herdsmen had been moving out of the forest reserves in compliance with the order of the governor.

He said the government was waiting for the herdsmen to register, adding that many herders had indicated interest in the exercise.

He said, “We have just started, I am sure they would come. The herders don’t have any alternative but to register and anyone who fails to register will not be allowed to operate in the state. The registration has to be total.”

Also speaking, the Ondo State Chairman of MACBAN, Alhaji Garuba Bello, said the herders would begin to register any moment.

“My people are ready to register; let the government go to the forest and monitor how the herdsmen are obeying the order, “ Bello said.

MASSOB hails Akeredolu

Meanwhile, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra on Tuesday applauded Akeredolu on the steps taken to preserve the lives and property on Ondo State.

The pro-Biafra group in statement by its National Director Of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, said after their executive meeting, “MASSOB hails the Governor of Ondo state, His Excellency Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), on his eloquent and bold steps taken to preserve the lives and properties of his people.

“MASSOB urge the South-East governors to emulate Akeredolu in order to save our people, especially the Governor of Enugu State because Nkanu, Awgu, Aninri and Isi Uzo local government areas are occupied by the Fulani terrorist and criminals called herdsmen.”

Traditional worshipers seek inclusion

Additionally, the Ondo State Assembly of Traditional Religion Worshippers on Tuesday called on Akeredolu to involve them in the fight against the activities of the killer herdsmen in the state and the South-West.

The state Coordinator of the traditional worshipers, Chief Adewale Oso, who spoke with journalists in Akure, the state capital, said they had the spiritual support of the ancestors to collaborate with the government to chase out criminals in the state.

He said, “Our traditions have powers to expose evil doers around us. If some people are killing and hiding, when authorities do the right thing, in the traditional way, they would be exposed.”

Never4getU:
U're correct! Its agenda by Hausa to blackmail southwest in order to scheme Tinubu out of the race. They will fail

aremuforlife:
I hope they will enforce the law, they are private business man and they need to register, they need to be known.

yorubarere:

And also pay tax like other businesses.

aremuforlife:

Yes, they need to be capture in tax, they have not been paying tax.

yorubarere:

Fulani not Hausa. Hausa are predominantly peace and easy going people.

But Tinubu Sabi all their scheming.

Never4getU:
Yes! U're half correct but don't forget Hausa were responsible for the fulani invasion through political cheat over the south. They use them to out-number the south to take undue political advantage such as;

Census and vote

These two reason gives Hausa/Fulani more benefit in Nigeria than other region.

No doubt, they are going through serious extinction of their culture which isn't going down and it's only a matter of time before the time thinking bomb goes off.

MOVIC6:
Is it that there are no grasses in the north or someone feels like he has the right to come to any state in the name of grazing and not jus just, feels it’s their right to do anyhow they like without checks and I don’t know what else to type....

I see no reason why they are in Nigeria in the first place
And their father keeps helping them
Why hasn't he said anything on the issue?
