President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja appealed for accommodation and tolerance among cattle herders and farmers throughout the country.

Speaking at the State House when he received the leaders of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association on Nigeria, MACBAN, on a courtesy visit, the President appealed for calm among all citizens, saying that his government will give equal respect to all citizens irrespective of their ethnic, religious and geopolitical backgrounds.

According to President Buhari, “I appeal to all farmers and herders for restraint, mutual respect and tolerance for one another as people destined to live together in this great country. I appeal for patience and understanding as the administration works towards lasting solutions to these conflicts.”

He also urged the herders to support him in the task of bringing lasting peace to the country.

The President called on state governors to work with the Minister of Agriculture, who he said, had been mandated to work out a solution with the states by which herders will have access to water for their livestock, and farmers will have security against destruction of their farmlands.

President Buhari attributed part of the conflict between the two groups to the climate change phenomenon and population explosion, but regretted that its politicization by selfish individuals who did not mean well for the country did not also help matters.

He emphasized that this conflict was neither religious nor ethnic, but one that his administration has foreseen and warned about.

According to the President, “Before the Benue and Taraba crises, I called the Minister of Agriculture and the Governor of Central Bank and asked them to work with the state governors on rediscovering the gazetted cattle routes, clear of farmlands that had made for peace during the First Republic.”

President Buhari expressed strong confidence that a way around the problem will be found, working with the states which have an important role to play in finding a lasting solution.

“Whatever it will take, I am determined to bring peace between farmers and herders. I urge you all to be patient and exercise restraint while we are working for an enduring solution,” he stressed.

MACBAN, led by Alhaji Mohammed Kiruwa, informed the President that the 20-million strong body had sent the delegation to endorse his bid for a second term of office on account of the administration’s achievements in office which included, the successful clampdown on kidnapping and cattle rustling; and the fight against terrorism and corrupt elements in the society.

Alhaji Kiruwa said President Buhari’s personal qualities of honesty, integrity and his unparalleled commitment to the unity and progress of the nation, also informed his association’s support for a renewal of his tenure.

APC deputy spokesman exposes Peter Obi’s alleged dirty deals …Says S/African drug dealers planning to sponsor PDP

Published on January 9, 2019

By METRO DAILY


Contrary to made believe by the former governor of Anambra state and the presidential running-mate of People Democratic Party (PDP) Peter Obi, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena, has challenged him to explain how his administration expended his security vote as governor.

The Bayelsa born APC chieftain also revealed that the Atiku presidential campaign team and PDP have turned to the drug dealers in South Africa for financial assistance “because their Dubai agenda has collapsed.”

Nabena said the former governor has been parading himself as free of corrupt acts in his eight years as governor of Anamra state, revealing that available record showed that Obi was collecting over N470 million Naira monthly as security vote (N220 million Naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira from the state FAC accounts).

In a statement Nabena signed on Wednesday in Abuja, he stated that the former governor Obi professes his Catholicism for just for political expediency, adding that the former governor’s alleged relationship with a sect, Columba Olumba.

Nabena, who signed the statement in his own capacity as a chieftain of the party, said “several sources have revealed how the PDP and Atiku/Obi cannot longer run big rallies for lack of funding but had to contact some drug dealers in South Africa for help.”

On Peter Obi perceived integrity, Nabena, said: “Given the level of insecurity in Anambra state , ”Saint” Peter Obi should explain how he expends his security vote since it is on record that he collects over 470 million naira per month as security vote (220 million naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira from the state FAC accounts).

The Bayelsa born APC deputy spokesman believe that the coming presidential election will be about the integrity of the candidates and their running-mates which he added “PDP presidential candidate, Atiku and his running-mate does not have.”

According to him, “those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been accused of involving in drug dealing directly or indirectly since his days as an undergraduate at the University of Nigeria.

“His brother in-law who incidentally is one of the hirelings used by him for his nefarious drug trafficking business is currently languishing in jail in far away London. It is on record that his closeness to Dubem Obazie was the because Dubem served jail term for drug trafficking because of Peter Obi.

“Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra the circumstances surrounding his father’s death which remains his best kept secret.”

The APC chieftain said it is necessary for Nigerians to seriously torchlights all the presidential candidates and their running-mates, especially those who claim to have integrity like Peter Obi.

“Obi should explain his relationship with former Military Administrator, Governor Ibim Princewill and Col Earnest Kizito Attah of Cross River State whom he allegedly helped as a conduit to fleece Cross River State government thus contributing to the under development of the state.”

While accusing Atiku’s running-mate of double standard, Nabena said: ” Just as Peter Obi professes his Catholicism for political expediency, we ask him to summon the moral courage and explain to Catholic faithful his relationship with the Olumba Olumba Obu (OOO) Cult sect where his wife is a known member.”

The former aide and PDP popular ranting machine, Reno Omokri reacted to the arrest of controversial senator, Dino Melaye.

He said:

So funny that policemen ran away from fighting Boko Haram and refused to leave @dino_melaye’s house until they got him. How I wish they had done the opposite-stayed to fight Boko Haram and leave Dino alone. I guess Dino makes them strong and Boko Haram makes them weak #RenosDarts
