Butterflyle0: this is a very interesting one here, i think i missed the part where pdp claimed responsibility as you have stated. well by trying not to agree with me on information being suppressed i think you might have unknowingly agreed since you claim Jonathan knew the pdp was behind the killings and refuse to refused to say. also we've had an instance where a spokesman of the government has come out to tell us opposition politicians are behind the killings, and you talk about suspision. such allegations should be made based on suspicion?. isnt that well, if my voice could be heard i would demand full details of those claims rather than half baked. i was trying to see that we have a conversation absent sentiments, but when it got to the point where you talk about investigation, suspicion and the rest of that paragraph shows or rather appears you are on the defensive side of someone. and as a neutral person, checking the timeline, the places and how the deaths occurred/ is occurring will be no difference if the situation remains the same. 4 Likes |

London’s Bridge Centre Says PDP Behind Farmers/Herdsmen Crisis By Elizabeth Morgan The world has on several occasions been appalled by the wanton killings in Nigeria from incidents attributed to clashes between herdsmen and farmers. Attacks upon attacks in affected communities have been blamed on “killer” herdsmen, who in such instances prove elusive as not much would be heard about the daring killer squads that carry out such crimes against humanity. The situation has triggered a cycle of blame game within Nigeria, with the consequence that the persons behind these killings, at least responsible in part, are successfully evading justice. Findings show that these persons are of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which has its imprint on the Farmers/Herdsmen Crisis as the then ruling party and more recently as the country’s leading opposition party. We invite the United Nations Security Council to consider the following as we invite the Council to urgently intervene before the world starts dealing with the problem of a lost generation in Nigeria> SYSTEMATIC RETENTION OF A FESTERING PROBLEM Transhumance is a phenomenon that is not peculiar to Nigeria. It has been worsened by climate change, urban sprawl, changing cultures and economic pressure. In the 16 years that PDP ruled Nigeria, it decided to do nothing about the realities of making changes to avert the genuine aspects that can be addressed as Farmers/Herdsmen Crisis like the current government is doing by proposing cattle ranching as a workable solution to the issues caused by nomadic cattle herding. It instead presided over the theft of the country’s resources on a scale that makes it difficult to make certain interventions that will allow livestock keepers and crop growers thrive as constituent parts of the agricultural sector. POLITICAL SUPPORT FOR KILLER GROUPS In the desperation to get at the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the centre, PDP chieftains have been to known to actively support killers, who go about massacring populations in communities that did not vote them in the 2015 General Elections. These killings have been classified as part of the casualty from the Farmers/Herders’ crisis. We will name a few instances to support this position: In Benue state, Akwazar Terwase (alias Gana) was propped up by the PDP governor that presided over the state up to 2015 (Gabriel Suswam) even though he was a known mass murderer. The governor who took over, Mr. Samuel Ortom, even while posing as an APC member, being a closet PDP member at that time continued to provide cover or Gana while publicly castigating him for public show. Gana is responsible for scores of deaths, including many that were initially attributed to herdsmen. Ortom is now formally back in the PDP. Aminu Yaminu (Tashaku), a known Boko Haram terrorist, was employed by PDP’s Samuel Ortom and paid from the Benue State Government account under the pretext of being the commander of the Livestock Guards. Tashaku has been arraigned for the gruesome murder of 17 worshipers in a heinous crime that was initially attributed to “killer” herdsmen. In the last week of June 2018, reprisal killings trailed the killing of scores of villagers in Plateau state. The reprisals have now been proven to be the expected outcomes plotted by a former governor of the state and PDP lawmaker in the National Assembly, Senator Jona Jang, who had vowed to make the state ungovernable for the APC led government of Simon Bako Lalong. Jang is known to have also instigated the killings as a way of forcing law enforcement agencies to back down from pursuing corruption cases against him in court. CREATION, FUNDING AND ARMING OF ETHNIC MILITIAS Political leaders of the PDP have in the period since the party was voted out of the Federal Government engaged in the formation of militias, which they armed with weapons prohibited under several international protocols. These weapons have been deployed in commission crimes against humanity as they resulted in mass killings. Taraba State (PDP) governor, Mr. Darius Ishaku, directly and through proxies armed and funded the Mambila Militia that was responsible for the violence that claimed scores of lives in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba state in the second half of 2017. The killings were again initially linked to killer herdsmen before details emerged to confirm that the pastoral community was rather under attack. Members of the Benue State Livestock Guards, upon being arrested by the military, confessed that they were armed by the state governor, Mr. Samuel Ortom, a PDP member who was then pretending to belong to the APC. On April 5, 2018 33 persons were killed by gunmen who turned out to have been armed by Senator Bukola Saraki, another PDP member that hides behind the logo of the APC. The gunmen confessed that their weapons and operational vehicles came from him. The brazen nature of the attack was initially ascribed to “killer” herdsmen. Kabiru Seidu aka Osama and Nuhu Salisu aka Small, named Senator Dino Melaye (PDP) as their gun-runner. They had used the weapons supplied by Dino Melaye for robberies and kidnaps that were at some point attributed to herdsmen. ARMING KILLERS AHEAD OF 2019 POLLS Information at our disposal reveal that the PDP chieftain have released funds and more weapons for killers that will further attack communities as part of their ploy to campaign that President Muhammadu Buhari has failed in his campaign promise of restoring security to Nigerians. This money is coming from the 100 billion Naira fund that was previously earmarked to sabotage the country and present it as a failure. PRAYERS Taking cognisance of the continued desecration of the sanctity of human life, the United Nations Security Council is invited to: Order a full investigation into the role that politicians, especially the PDP, are playing in the killings attributed to Farmers/Herders’ crisis. Arising from the findings of the full investigation, takes the steps necessary to deter the kind of disregard for human life as is presently the trend. CONCLUSION Time is of essence for whatever intervention the Council has to make since it is important that Nigerians are reassured ahead of the General Elections.

Butterflyle0: So what exactly is th point of all these lies? That Buhari is innocent and Nigerians should vote for him? That will be decided by Nigerian voters next year. I am very angry with you that you can lie with the issue of the killings. I hated PDP as at 2015 due to Jonathan’s corruption and all, but I am now convinced that PDP is a party that can be accused of all the sins in the world, but definitely not the killing of innocent Nigerians. I want you to deeply reflect on what cheap partisan politics has turned you into and quickly change for the better. For your Information, Nigerians are not fools and we know what is going on. Anybody can pay an NGO in the U.K. to write any fictitious report—they are a dime a dozen in the city of London. Be properly guided henceforth, please. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

resurgent2019:Don't mind them. All of them are crazily mad but nobody to tell them how mad they are It is PDP governors that told IGP not to go to Benue state when Buhari instructed him to! It is PDP governors that gave El Rufai money to go to some Fulani communities outside Nigeria to bribe them to stop coming to Southern Kaduna to kill farmers! It is PDP people that told Buhari to say that Fulani herdsmen killers are not from Nigeria but from Libya. It is PDP governors that told Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association MACBAN to say that the killings is as a result of open grazing law enacted by Benue State governor Orton It is also PDP governors that told MACBAN to always come out to say that for peace to reign, people should donate their lands for FG to create cattle colonies for them and stop killing their cows even they intentionally enter farmers farmlands to graze and destroy their cashcrops or rustling their cows even though it is also their Fulani herdsmen brothers that hustle their fellow herdsmen cows. This is really a sad situation and one junkie in UK is spewing thrash to further complicate our issues, God will punish them 9 Likes |

All I know is that God in heaven who sees the actions of men will judge Buhari for all the lives and families he has destroyed these past 3 years. And I know that even if he rigs himself in next year, he shall not complete his term(God is still in the business of removing despots, he did it in the case of Abacha).
