Akeredolu Tackles Buhari

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has reacted to the statement issued by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Adviser on Media, Garba Shehu on the herdsmen situation in the state.

Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo Reacting to Garba Shehu’s statement said;

“One thing is certain, President Muhammad Buhari, by his antecedent, nationalistic posture and the patriotism he is known for, may not have ordered that statement.”

“Because it would have been a dangerous one for the unity of this country.”

“If true, it would mean certain officials in the Presidency are actually out to create a problem for President Buhari. We must appreciate the effort of this President in his fight against insecurity across the country.”

“If indeed he (Shehu) issued the statement, then Garba Shehu owes this nation a great deal of explanation to let people know why he must take up the fight of people masquerading as herdsmen to commit a crime.”

“The ultimatum was not for law-abiding herdsmen to vacate the state, rather the forest reserves which is monuments and treasure of the people of the southwest.”

“Some of these criminal elements have gone to mingle with the Fulani herdsmen who have occupied portions of these forest reserves as settlements.”

“In any case, kidnap victims are taken into deep into forest reserves. And security agencies have enough evidence that these victims are taken there. So the government is trying to clear the mess by way of regulating the activities of herdsmen.”
