The Ondo State Government has declared that the presidency
is emotionally attached to Fulani herdsmen.
The State Commissioner for Information and Orientation,
Donald Ojogo was reacting to the statement by the Presidency against the
directive of the State government banning the operation of unregistered Fulani
herdsmen in its forest.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu had condemned the directive by the Ondo State
government.
However, Ojogo insisted that Shehu’s comment was inimical to
the existence of Nigeria.
Ojogo, in a statement, said Shehu had stated “unambiguously,
the position of the Federal Government.
“The Ondo State Government did not ask Fulani to leave the
state.
“The governor said herdsmen who are unregistered should
leave our forests.
“The statement from Garba Shehu is brazen display of
emotional attachments and it’s very inimical to the corporate existence of
Nigeria.
“We need clearly defined actions on the part of the Federal
Government to decimate the erroneous impression that the inspiration of these
criminal elements masquerading as herdsmen is that of power.
“Our unity is threatened, no doubt.
“It (statement) states in a breath that the governor fights
crime with passion while it is prevaricating on the atrocities.
“The question is, are the herdsmen who are perpetrating
murder, kidnapping and robbery more important than government and even the
Federal Government in this case?
“Ethnic nationality and activism on the part of anyone
hiding under the Presidency or federal government is an ill wind.”
