Inter-ethnic Conflicts: Act Now, Zamfara Governor Begs Buhari by Officialhorlah(m): 9:24pm On Feb 14, 2021 |
The Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take a decisive action to stop the inter-ethnic violence in parts of South-west Nigeria. Mr Matawalle made the call on Sunday through a statement signed by his spokesperson, Zailani Bappa. The governor issued the statement in reaction to the violence on Friday at Shasha market in Ibadan that pitted hoodlums from two ethnic groups against each other. Condemning “ethnic discrimination and regional dichotomy” in Nigeria, Mr Matawalle also appealled to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to douse the violence in his domain. Tension has been rising in many parts of Nigeria between indigeneous communities and Fulani settlers over violent crimes and attack on farmers widely attributed to cattle herders. The development has reared its head in Oyo, too, where Sunday “Igboho” Adeyemo last month led some hoodlums to sack Fulani settlements in the Ibarapa area of the state. But last Friday’s disturbances in Ibadan were sparked by a minor dispute in the market between two persons. (PRESS RELEASE) GOV MATAWALLE CONDEMNS ETHNIC ATTACKS, IMPLORE PRESIDENT TO ACT In the light of ongoing wanton attacks and primitive violence on the Northern community in Ibadan, Governor Bello Mohammed has strongly condemned any act of ethnic discrimination and regional dichotomy. Governor Matawalle, who assessed and sympathised with the victims of the ethnic attack, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take decisive action on the spate of violence gripping some South-Western States and gradually turning into criminality. ‘It is inexcusable that at this stage of our journey as a nation, we are yet to come to terms with the fact that God has made it a destiny for us to live as one people. It is unfortunate that while our counterparts elsewhere are fusing up from particularity to generality as a people, we are fast sliding backwards from semblance of generality to particularity as a people’, Governor Matawalle lamented. He noted that ethnic hate and regional dichotomy will not lead us to whatever we think we can gain out of it but backwardness and doom. Governor Matawalle called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take a decisive step towards ending the ethnic profiling of the Fulani tribe in some parts of the country which is now graduating to include the entire Northern communities especially in Oyo state. ‘I also urge my colleague, the Governor of Oyo state to take concrete steps in curtailing the ongoing senseless attacks and ensure that such happenings do not occur again. We are battling with insurgency and banditry as a nation and here are supposed law abiding citizens unleashing mayhem on innocent citizens to compound the spate of insecurity in the country’, Governor Matawalle lamented. ‘We must eschew primitive hatred against one another and learn to live with ourselves as one people. Our common enemy is not among those we live in the same community, buy and sell from one another, but those who take up arms against us in the name of banditry and insurgency’, Governor Matawalle observed and advised.

He should deploy soldiers na. Nigeria will end sooner than predicted. Fulani attack Yoruba, all of the useless elders and leaders in the north kept mute. But Yoruba retaliated, you guys started crying like babies. If not that you are all illiterates. You would have known Newton third law of motion which states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." 4 Likes |

Just look at this man! Instead of telling your dummy president to act in your state over banditry and insurgency, you are here raising ethnic tone. Tell your people to respect their host communities, else, they will not have peace. 1 Like |

The problem with people like this governor is their glaring doublespeak. One moment they are bemoaning the country's inability to forge a stronger union.., the next moment, the same man will be caught desperately trying to subvert the system that was created to steghten the country, through tribal gang up with a biased presidency. You go to the federal government in Abuja at the end of every month, cap in hand to collect federal allocations from oil sells, then you go home and corner all earnings from gold in Zamfara for only your people.. Actions like this seriously do violence to trust and create the kind of general resentment from other sections of the country that ultimately find expression through unconstitutional means in moments like this.. 1 Like |

Rugaria:They think Nigeria belongs to them. Parasites bringing less to the table and taking more than those feeding them. That is even negligible. Why kill, rape and destroy other people means of livelihoods on their own lands without provocation? They pushed their lucks too far this time around. Buhari might just be the last president of the country if this continues. 2 Likes |
