Following the recent uproar in the country about
the Fulani herdsmen being evicted in some parts
of the country, the senate would address it upon
resumption tomorrow.

Senator Yahaya Abdullahi has disclosed that the
senate will deliberate on the menace of Fulani
herdsmen across the country on resumption on
Tuesday.

Abdullahi, who spoke with journalists in his office,
said his deputy who is representing Ondo North in
the Senate, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice, will come up
with a motion on the issue.

Abdullahi said the Federal Government has a role
to play in resolving the crisis, stressing that local
political leaders should be encouraged to find
lasting solution to it.

The Presidency had opposed a recent directive by
the Ondo State Government that Fulani herdsmen
should vacate the Ondo forest reserves.

President Muhammadu Buhari through his Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam
Garba Shehu, had wondered why Governor Rotimi
Akeredolu, a legal luminary, could unilaterally
issue the quit order without taking cognizance of
the constitution that guarantees the rights of
citizens to movement and to live in any part of
the country.

But Abdullahi said rather than involving itself in
the issue, the Presidency should encourage
political and traditional rulers to play major roles
in resolving it.

He said, “ This is a kind of crisis that is tending
towards governance trajectory where some
political actors and ethnic entrepreneurs are
coming into the process and spoiling the waters.

“These are existential issues that have set
communities that have hitherto been living
together peacefully, against each other, either
for political advantage or political matters.
“These are issues that should be resolved at the
local level either through dialogue or give and
take.

“They are people that had lived together, they
should come together and engage in a dialogue.
“The Federal Government is too distant to resolve
every communal dispute everywhere. Inter-
communal dispute should be resolved by the people
in the area.

“They should be resolved by political leaders at
the level of the National Assembly, at the level of
the governors, local government councilors to sit
down with their people so that a lot of these
issues can be articulated and addressed by the
local population.

“This is what the governors at their levels should
do not to always run to the presidency, to solve
one dispute here and there How many arms does
the Federal Government have?

“This is a federation and we are all politically
responsible leaders. At the various level where
they are they should sit down and talk to one
another on this disputes.

“I can assure you that in no distant time these
inter-communal conflagrations would be resolved.
I think the way it may be resolved is in the
interest of this country’s unity and integrity.
“There would be hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday) or
Wednesday a general motion will be sponsored by
the Deputy Senate Leader Ajayi Boroffice; he will
come with a motion on the issue on the floor of
the Senate tomorrow.”

Ok! let's wait for the outcome first before taking action

Igboho oosa baba damny I give u tuale!!!!!

To debate or to proscribe them as a terrorist group

Good... Anything to make Nigerians more united..

Let the debate end in their relocation to the North because we can't tolerate their excesses anymore. They are so greedy they want to dominate everything and everywhere! We can't even buy Oke Ogun yams in the market again because the Farmers can't plant or harvest at will, we buy their 'Abuja' yam. We used to have local tomatoes in the market along with the ones from the North, not any more! We can't afford to rely on these killers for our food!
