President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the speculations that he is doing nothing to address the crisis between farmers and herdsmen in the country.

The President said this on Thursday when he received a delegation of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) led by Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama at the State House in Abuja.

“The impression created that I was sitting in an air-conditioned office and home, enjoying myself while these things happened, is dishonest,” he said in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.

“At every step, I have tried to foresee these problems because I have the experience as a former military officer who commanded three out of the four divisions of the Nigerian army – in Lagos, Ibadan and Jos.

“I am quite aware of the problems we have and I am doing my best to get law enforcement agencies to be on alert,” he added.

President Buhari explained that the policy proposed by Federal Government in response to the crisis was not meant to colonise any part of the country.

Instead, he said the intention of the government was to create grazing locations for cattle rearers, which has now been misconstrued as another form of colonisation.

The President regretted that the well-thought-out policy, which was conceived after wide consultations with stakeholders, had been largely misunderstood by a section of the public.

He, however, assured the Catholic Bishops that the Federal Government would continue to explore all opportunities and support initiatives to ensure peace and stability in restive areas.

He also condemned the recent spate of killings in Benue, Adamawa, Taraba, and Zamfara states and noted that the security operatives would ensure prosecution of perpetrators and all those found with illegal arms in the affected areas.

President Buhari spent some time with some of his friends at Comprehensive Special School in Lafia. When he was leaving they asked for more time, and he told them he had lots to take care of in Abuja and asked them to study hard so he could come to their graduation.
