FAYOSE DECLARES WAR ON FULANI HERDSMEN IN EKITI STATE

Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose

Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has declared that no land will be appropriated to Fulani herdsmen in his state, emphasizing that it could lead to any civil war.
In recent times, the spate of killings attributed to the herdsmen has drastically increased with hundreds of lives lost and properties of innumerable amounts destroyed.

“By the powers conferred on me by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the Executive Governor of Ekiti State, I reserve the rights to allocate land in the state to people and we will not give an inch of our land to any cow rearer. Moving cows from one place to another is no longer fashionable,” he said. “It is very primitive, provoking and could lead to another civil war.

“We cannot open our eyes and watch as cows destroy our farmlands. We need to ask some questions. The herdsmen who go about carrying AK 47 to kill people, who gave them the licences for such arms? Or are they above the law? How did they get those guns? ‎Who purchased the guns for them? What is their agenda for arming them? Has the Boko Haram translated to the herdsmen?"
