A leader of the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere,
Chief Ayo Adebanjo, says a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Bola
Tinubu, is afraid to speak on the Fulani herdsmen crisis in parts of the South-West
region because he does not want to offend the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, Tinubu has not condemned the attacks by
Fulani herdsmen against the Yoruba people because of his presidential ambition
in 2023.
The Afenifere chieftain said Tinubu believes that Buhari
will help him become the next president of the country.
Of late, Fulani herdsmen have been accused of perpetrating
crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, rape to invasion of farmlands with
their cattle in the South-West region especially in Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun
States.
Adebanjo said instead of Buhari to protect all Nigerians, he
has taken to defending the Fulani herdsmen despite sundry evidence that they
are culpable of the heinous crimes.
“I don’t buy the propaganda of the Buhari government that
how do you know they are Fulani? And when they are caught, they will say, they
are foreign Fulani. If you are a competent defender of the Nigerian people, the
Fulani herdsmen won’t be committing all forms of atrocities unabated,” he said.
