The apex Yoruba socio-political
group, Afenifere, and a former Aviation Minister Femi-Fani-Kayode have reacted
to the setting ablaze of a farm belonging to a former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, SGF, Olu Falae by Fulani herdsmen.
Nigerian Eye had reported that Fulani herdsmen invaded Falae’s farm, setting it on fire.
Reacting, the National Publicity
Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin described it as the continuation of the
declaration of war by the Fulani.
According to Afenifere, “It is
continuation of the declaration of war by armed Fulani herdsmen, who have been
terrorising communities and are now burning farmlands.
“Now, they have gone to Falae’s
farm. These people have made up their mind to go to war or have their way and
the authority has refused to call them to order.
“The latest on Falae’s farm is
clearly unacceptable, an aggression by the Fulani and they should be rest
assured that the Yoruba nation will not take it likely.
“If they think that with all
these they are doing, they will have one inch of land for cattle colony in any
part of Yoruba land, they should forget it.”
Also reacting to the incident,
Fani-Kayode wrote, “Fulani terrorists have set Chief Olu Falae’s entire farm in
Ondo State on fire.
“Baba Falae is one of the most
respected and revered leaders of Afenifere and the Yoruba nation.
“Only two years ago the same
Fulani terrorists kidnapped him and almost killed him. I ask Buhari and Miyetti
Allah, does he deserve this? Is this fair?
“How many more people have to die
and how many more farms have to be destroyed before you will call these
barbarians to order and bring them to book?”
