Walid Jibrin, chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, on Thursday, highlighted
efforts he has made to resolve the crisis between herdsmen and farmers in
Taraba and Benue States.
Jibrin disclosed that he was
planning to meet with the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom and the leadership
of Tiv and the Fulani people in the state with the aim of resolving the crisis.
Addressing journalists in Abuja,
the PDP BoT Chairman stressed that the crisis can only be resolved through
dialogue.
He said, “We the Fulani concerned
elders are now trying to bring all these Fulani associations together so that
we can talk with one voice.
“Like I earlier did, I went to
Taraba State to meet with the governor, the leaders and Fulani elders, and the
meeting is yielding results. I intend to go to Benue State to meet the
governor, the leadership of Tiv people and the Fulani people to look at the
pros and cons of the issues of Fulani herdsmen.
“This can only be solved by
dialogue and mediation. We should not be tired of discussing these issues so
that the matter will die down and everybody will appreciate one another.
“We, Fulani will also educate our
people to understand the Nigeria problem, the problem of rearing and also to
find many alternatives and most importantly, to educate our Fulani children so
that most of these problems will reduce.”
