A former Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Sunday expressed worry over the deafening silence of key stakeholders and leaders over the quit notices given to Fulani herders in Oyo and Ondo States, and the burning of a Fulani settlement in Igangan.

Saraki, in a statement, said the silence was a dangerous tell-tale sign that things were wrong.

He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to rally all interests and everybody at the leadership levels to a round table to discuss and find appropriate solutions, saying insecurity had become the order of the day and fueling disunity and criminal activities.

He urged all Nigerians to work for peace and take initiatives that could douse tension.

“Both the elite and ordinary people have a responsibility to begin to take measures that’ll reassure the people across board that a united Nigeria will benefit everybody better than a disintegrated country,” he said.

He said the relevance of Nigeria in the international community was due to her size, population and collective resources.

“I know some politicians will not be able to contribute ideas if they are not called upon to do so by those who currently have governmental responsibility to do so. However, please don’t keep quiet when called upon.

“We must all intervene as patriots and forget our personal interests. For the sake of our forebears who handed over this country to us, we must work hard to make things better so that when we meet them, we’ll have a good account to give that we improved on what was handed over to us.

“In the meantime, let all stakeholders speak up on the danger confronting and diminishing our great country. The attitude of keeping quiet and ‘Sidon look’ while waiting for the next election to start making promises will not help anyone. What type of election or country are we going to have in 2023 if the current situation persists? A stitch in time saves nine,” he added.

Saraki also called on Senate President Ahmed Lawan and House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila to provide far-reaching legislative intervention that would help the executive arm in the search for peace.

“This is a period that require all hands to be on deck. This is not the time to talk of APC or PDP. It’s a time for all to work for Nigeria. This is a problem for all and should be solved by all.”

If it doesn’t concern the 2023 presidency then the leaders have nada to say.

Una go wait tire. Problem is dem go don wipe half of the population of villagers by then. I pity farm owners in the South.

See this werey. So you could not say anything about the Fulani excesses in the SW, but you can talk about the repercussions from the natives. Saraki you are mad.

You are reading a press statement and you still claim he said nothing, what has Tinubu, Osinbajo or Gbajabiamila said?..

Garba shehu spoke siding the fulanis under the guise of presidency, what has Adesina said under same guise?...

What has lai mohammed said (minister of information)?...

Please move on with your Saraki beef..

Guy, even if you choose to be an asslicker of Saraki atleast do so with sense na. Maybe you read a different release from the one I responded to, but nowhere did Saraki show empathy for the people that the Fulanis have been terrorizing, all he did was emphasized the quit notices and burning of Fulani settlement. That is addressing the effect while neglecting the cause, which will get us nowhere.

Anyway, Saraki was only showing allegiance to his Fulani bloodline so I don't blame him, but you as an asslicker should know better than to argue blindly.

Where are other leaders in Government?

Guy, if I am Saraki your paymaster, I will withhold your salary for this month because you are doing a piss poor job of licking his yansh. Where in the quote you referenced did Saraki specifically mention herdsmen atrocities in the SW?? He was clear enough when he alluded to the quit notices on Fulani herders, yet he could not be specific in mentioning the incidences that led to them in the flashpoints in question.

Look, I know you know what I am talking about, but you have your face so stuck up in his Fulani ass to the extent that you have completely lost your senses. You are a well-known PDP apologist/Atikulator, so you are only acting true to type. Your other Fulani oga in Dubai has not uttered a word either, but who cares, right? Afterall, he is also above reproach like other PDP Fulani chieftains. Yeye dey smell.

I love his speech..you have spoken well

This is not the time for apc and pdp or else the situations might worsen more than this

I hope our youths are watching. This is your time to shine! PDP and APC are national party. They will always pander to the herders.

This is your time to shine. This is the time to get powers from them by playing local politics. Their flank are opened by their political greed.

Two years is enough to get power from them using solutions to the herders as a campaign rally.

You are just rambling back and fort, am still asking you... whom of the leaders in Govt have spoken about it including Governors of affected regions? But you keep rambling and going off point. nothing the fact Saraki is half Fulani/yoruba but still went against all odds to call for dialogue on the issue.. whom in Govt had said anything including the VP and speaker?..

You could have just said you play partisan against common sense and I would get it loud and clear.

Abeg, their silence is golden

I hope the Atiku supporters have also observed his silence over this issue. If you like, go and vote for another version of 'Buhari' come 2023.

Saraki has Senate president what bill did you pass to protect Nigerian from herdsmen attack
Has for Atiku

"For the sake of our forebears who handed over this country to us,"

I don't remember the British being our forebears

Tinubu and Atiku are silent on this
know your real enemies now Nigerians beware

Tinubu insulted the whole Yorubas by keeping silent. he is covertly supporting the Fulanis thinking they will make him president

it shall not be well with this man,I hate him with passion, I swear if he pass in my vicinity I am ready to kill him and face the law,he hates Yoruba with passion,he had made life difficult for many Yoruba local government that refuses the Emirates system in kwara,I would never forgive him.

Atiku silence connotes a chameleon attitude for such kind of person that had a chalemon attitude, this is too dangerous to commit power to this kind of person....
