Tunde Bakare, the Senior Pastor
of Latter Rain Assembly, has said he would have “clamped down” on Fulani
herdsmen, if he was the President of Nigeria.
Bakare made the remark while
lamenting the spate of killings perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen in some states
of the federation.
Featuring on Channels television,
Bakare said the country is in a state of war considering the attacks that have
sent many to their early graves.
The former Vice-Presidential
Candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) also condemned
the use of the word cattle colonies.
He said, “I can understand if you
say let us create ranches because this would boost our economy, but the word
colony used is so unfortunate and absolutely insensitive. Who are you
colonising?
“I will clamp them down in so
many ways. Are there no forests in Sambisa forest where you can have ranches?
Bakare, however, noted that the
solution to the challenges facing the country is restructuring.
“Let us restructure, the
irrational cycle of four-four years is causing this country to bleed and we
will bleed to death. Money that should be used for the development of this
country (is being wasted) on things that really don’t count.
“Recycle the same people over and
over again and every four years, we go to the poll. We are putting the cart
before the horse. We will not go forward,” he said.
