The meeting between members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders Association of Nigeria and members of the Nigeria Governors Forum has
started.
Some of the governors in attendance include Ondo, Osun,
Ekiti, Oyo, and Jigawa, and Kebbi states.
In his welcome remarks, the chairman of the Nigeria
Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, said the
meeting was called to resolve the issue of insecurity in the South-West.
He explained that the order pronounced by Governor Akeredolu
was misconstrued by the media, particularly, the social media.
He noted that Akeredolu had not ordered the Fulani to leave
Ondo State.
Fayemi said, “Many members of MACBAN were born in the
South-West. So, Akeredolu cannot ask Fulani to vacate Ondo State. The area
concerned is the forest reserves and it is about registration and also to work
in line with the law.
“What we are after is the criminals, not Fulani herdsmen,
criminals are criminals irrespective of their ethnic group.”

Rather than address the issue, they've started watering it down. This country! Criminals perpetrate crime under a tolerating leadership.
