Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered state governors to
ensure that people of their states do not “block cattle routes”.
Speaking during a programme on
Ekiti State Television, EKTV, Fayose claimed that Buhari gave the directive
during a meeting “last week.”
The governor also berated the
president over his handling of the crisis between herdsmen and farmers.
Fayose, while quoting the
president, said: “People are building houses to block cattle routes.
“If I were to be president of
Nigeria, I will not act the way President Buhari is behaving (regarding the
crisis).
“The president must be courageous
enough to end these mindless killings. He is the president and has what it
takes. If I am the president, I will take appropriate steps and stand it down.
A criminal is a criminal, whether Hausa man or Yoruba man. If you commit crime,
you go in for it.
“I remember when we were in a
meeting last week; the president was saying that people are blocking cattle
routes. Have you heard that before? How can the president say people are
blocking cattle routes? There is no cattle route in Ekiti in the 21st century.
“The president of Nigeria was
saying governors should go and make sure they don’t block cattle routes. He
said people are building houses to block cattle routes. I was laughing; I
didn’t know what to say in council. I just left.”
