Senate minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to publicly declare that he does not support violent herdsmen.

Abaribe speaking on Channels Tv on Monday morning, said the failure of the government to punish criminal herdsmen had empowered them.

The Senate minority leader said Buhari should be concerned that a particular set of people were being attributed to crimes all over the country.

Abaribe said: “The President needs to come out and say categorically that he does not support the activities of violent herdsmen.

“He needs to say I do not support their actions, Buhari needs to come out for every Nigerian to see his intention to own this problem.

“Why wouldn’t you as chief executive of a country come out and say I’m giving marching orders to security agencies that these cannot continue to happen.

“Where has the President ever said publicly that these criminal herdsmen will never be tolerated.

“I’ve only heard his Spokesman, Adesina say it and not from him.

“What we’ve heard from 2006 is leave in peace with your neighbour, try to accommodate your countrymen and stuff of that nature.

“This enables those that are committing these crimes that there is no punishment.

“As a president, you should be very worried when you see things happening in the country targeted at a particular set of people. You should ask what is it that makes these people continue to commit these crimes.”

In recent times, herdsmen in different parts of Nigeria have been accused of killings and kidnappings.

On Friday, suspected herdsmen attacked Ebute Igbooro, killing four and setting properties on fire.

This was after about six persons had been hacked to death and some thrown into a river in Owode Ketu on Thursday.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SHUT IT

How can you ask thier mentor to condemn them?......

Wahala be like Nigeria a shithole governed by nepotic cow lover

To be frank, most of these crisis predates Buhari's administration,.

But to be honest, his actions and inactions have aggravated and worsened the situation.

He will rather die than do so! Buhari!? Deny or purnish his brothers? It will never happen! Has he ever tried to hide his love for them? How many times has he openly condemned them? How many of those criminals have been arrested, prosecuted and finally sentenced? From Agatu through southern Kaduna to Uzo Uwani..NONE has been prosecuted for all the massacres! This government is urepentantly evil... It's the Southerners in the government that tries to defend the man while giving his government a human face. The man doesn't care one bit!

Of course

Yes it started before him but his actions and inaction have worsen the situation simply because his people are benefitting. If you want to be sincere, will Obasanjo allow his yoruba people killing here and there and keep quiet! This Buhari has failed

It's not news

Buhari used Yorubas to archeive plan

We're practically saying the same thing.

His silence is being regarded as an unsaid support for the criminal herders and that has emboldened them while infuriating their victims more. I do not think this wholesale resentment for herders and anything North has happened before.
