The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has asked herders in Ondo state not to leave their locations and resist moves to be labelled as criminals.

In a statement on Wednesday, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a spokesman of the forum, asked Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo, to rescind the ultimatum given to herders to vacate forest reserves in the state.

He described the governor’s order as provocative and unhelpful.

On Monday, Akeredolu gave herders a seven-day ultimatum to leave the forests, citing the rising insecurity in the state.

The governor said “bad elements” have turned the forest reserves into hideouts for keeping victims of kidnapping, negotiating for ransom and carrying out other criminal activities.

But Baba-Ahmed said Fulanis will not accept unfair treatment, challenging the governor to isolate criminals and treat them as such.

“Northern Elders Forum is shocked at reports that Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, is asking a Fulani community to leave its lawful location, in addition to other restrictions on activities of Fulani people who have lived in the State for a long period,” Baba-Ahmed said.




“Governor Akeredolu is a senior lawyer who should know that the constitution does not give him the power to deny any Nigerian the right to live where he chooses if he does not break the law in the process. His duty to protect and improve the security of citizens and all people in Ondo State cannot be challenged.

“No Nigerian has the power to take punitive action against citizens on political grounds. The forum believes that the action of the governor is provocative and unhelpful

Yorubas should take the bull by the horn, stop your political correctness in this banana republic.

If is to form one militia group against this Fulani herdsmen terrorists then so be it.

Life has no duplicate.

Northern Elders speaking from their mansions. If it's so good why don't they go and also live in the forest?

Thank God for ESN

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

Mad research ooooo

But why must they live in the forests by force. Why not pay government for land to use as a ranch This thing no hard

Arrrrrrrh

Imagine the effortory, a land that is not thier. I don't know how this hausa/Fulani Muslim think. No matter how they go school, they don't think logically.

How will you be claiming right when you are wrong. They thought Nigeria is in unity, they are to know thier boundaries in a foreign lànd.

I tire for this thier mumu talk. An average Fulani can hunt you down if you vexed him, they are threat to those living around Them..

It's seldom to find good Fulani herdsmen, most of them are wicked. Am talking from experience around here, I stay.

So a Governor do not have a say in his state? Who can question hell rufai in his state? I don't blame them l blame some foolish Yoruba elders that sold their people out because of greed for money. Akeredolu will be a coward if he listen to those fools called northdern elders.

I so much love Orji Uzor Kalu, but the next rime he mentions Ruga in a favourable light, he'll lose all that love and respect from me.

Lol, this people are playing with fire

LMAO, Aketi do your worse...
Just when I thought Nigeria was getting boring, I'm bingeing this!

Nigeria is free for all nigeria, let the innocent find solace in a peaceful place,
They have every right to stay, provided they obey the law of the land.
No one will ever chose to be born in a war torn and savage environment, but out of circumstances we should accommodate them.

You must have benefited from Akeredolu's push for the legalization of weed.

-Hmm. A lady that encourages violence? I thought I have seen it all. Na wah!

If only we the Yorubas could emulate the Igbos. see how they are chasing Fulani herdsmen out of Igbo land but our men are busy talking down on Eastern Nigeria security network. we are too weak

Emotional outburst and insult will not change anything, you use style to insult them in alaigbo if u don't know. Thank you for your concern Yoruba leaders are not sleeping

No. BH should head back to Borno. They assume when southerners are harassed, they will support amnesty for jihadists demons. Let them go back to sambissa and yankari reserves to graze forcefully.

As Obi of Onitsha, the Yorubas cannot emulate us because we are coward and greedy, have you ever heard me or any of the igbo leaders speak about the rubbish treatment of Igbos, I was so afraid to condemn the killing of our people in Enugu and Oyigbo, we are the ones that rubbish and proscribed IPOB group, just because they will take away our food we are receiving from Buhari, our lord and savior, you see my son the governor of Ebonyi state quickly called the chairman of miyetti Allah to give him money and deny evicting of the fulani herdsmen, we aren't United, I don't even care as long as I am receiving my hard currency

-So what could be the non-boring action you wish to see? I’m beginning to think you have more testosterone than progesterone in your endocrine system.

Yoruba people don't even have a say on their own land again

They were busy insulting Igbos while the Fulani people are busy taking over there lands .

Ban open grazing,place heavy fine on defaulters after seizing their cows and use amotekun to implement the law.
This should not be difficult to do. You are in your own land and strangers should not come from far away and make you uncomfortable.its not acceptable

what an effrontery from the Islamic Terrorists.

Meanwhile everyone who values their lives should stop this political correctness and come together against the jihadists o

You are talking about greed and money, if you are Igbo, you should cover your face in shame, Ebonyi state governor invited the fulani herdsmen chairman to beg him to deny evicting Fulanis from the state, your governors and ohaneze quickly ban and prosribed IPOB and label them terrorist group just because of personal greediness, your leaders were silent like grave yard when your people were killed in Enugu and Oyigbo, so you can open your mouth and talk, shame.
