Fulani Herdsmen: If Anyone Wants To Ignite War In Nigeria, It Won’t Be From Here by November1857(op): 2:12pm On Feb 02, 2021
Fulani herdsmen: If anyone wants to ignite war in Nigeria, it won’t be from here and won’t be under my own watch - Gov. Makinde speaks in Ibarapa.

Governor Seyi Makinde has affirmed that an ethnic war won't be ignited in Oyo state which he governs. 

 

In a statement issued on Monday February 1 after the Governor held a meeting with leaders in Ibarapa area where activist Sunday Igboho visited few days ago, Makinde said he decided to visit the area to make them know that he feels their pain. 

He said;

 

“I decided to spend the night in Ibarapaland, so as to let you know that if my people in this place cannot sleep with two eyes closed, I cannot also sleep with my two eyes closed in Ibadan. We are turning the heat on the criminal elements and we will surely get them.

“What happened in Rwanda will not be our portion. If anyone wants to ignite war in Nigeria, it won’t be from here and won’t be under my own watch. We will find a solution to the challenges facing us because we know there are challenges.”

 

The Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa listed compensating of victims of criminal activities, an all-inclusive peace and security committee at the local government levels and stepping up intelligence gathering in the area as some of the measures taken by Governor Makinde to address security challenges in the state. 

Makinde who also insisted that he was not afraid to speak up at the height of the clash between residents of Ibarapa local government area and Fulanis, averred that it is not all Fulani people that are criminals, as some of those caught after a robbery operation at Okeho were from Igbira in Kogi state. 

 

He said; 

 

“Some of the problems have been existing for years. It is not all Fulani people that are criminals, I must tell you. Some of those caught after a robbery operation at Okeho were Igbira from Kogi state.

“So, we must strive and do the work that can keep our environment safe. There are a few things the government has promised to do and the central part of it, which we think will help our situation, is identity management. We want to know who is where.”

embarassed They are already doing that by killing/kidnapping people and destroying farmlands with their cattle. They are aware that the vegetable's government are in support of the havoc they are causing all over the country, It's just logical for people to fight back. In most villages farmers are scared of going to their farms especially knowing that these criminals are illegally residing in Nigeria.

Mr. Governor but your people don't enjoy the same security paraphernalia that you have. How then will you compare just a day in Ibarapa surrounded by your horde of soldiers and police officers with the people who daily face the Fulani herders' violence every day and night?

Make you reason am na.

When people say we would find a lasting solution to this herdsmen issue ...it irritates me and this is what give this herdsmen mind

Someone invade your land , destroy your farms , rape your woman and kidnap your people and you want to find a peaceful solution ? Is such a person or group of people capable of respecting peace ? .....

There is only one way to get peace let the herdmens leave ...or u want to give them free land ? ...ask southern kaduna if that brought peace ...ask jos if that brought peace

Fulani is not a herdmens issue it's an expensive quest ...know this then we can start finding solution

There are two ways to have peace ...chase than like central africa republic , ghana , senegal , jukun tiv or be as submissive as hausas and have emirs in your land the choice is yours

Coward! MNK has demystified the Fulanis.
They are a bunch of retards.
They use Islam as a taqiyah to deceive their gullible.
Islam is a good Religion but evil people use it as a tool to deceive people

Is Dubai not an Islamic country.?
Hausa that Fulanis have taken over their land are they not Muslims?

SW should not let this man deceive them
