Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode has attacked the
Presidency for saying that herdsmen who were given ultimatum by Governor Rotimi
Akeredolu to vacate Ondo forest reserves have rights to reside there.
Recall that the Presidency had while calling for restraint
from both sides said “It will be the least expected to unilaterally oust
thousands of herders who have lived all their lives in the state on account of
the infiltration of the forests by criminals.”
A statement issued by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu had urged the state
government and the leadership of the Fulani communities to continue their
dialogue for a good understanding that will bring to an urgent end the
nightmarish security challenges.
But reacting, Fani Kayode in a tweet on Wednesday said that
the assertion by Garba Shehu that herdsmen have a right to reside in the
forests of Ondo and South West was ‘insulting, provocative, asinine and
absurd.’
According to him, “Quit notices cannot be given to
law-abiding citizens in any part of Nigeria but must be given to those that
kill, steal and seek to destroy the lives of others. Murderous terrorists and
bloodthirsty and evil men that hide in the forest to ambush, kidnap, kill and
destroy innocent and hardworking men and women have no constitutional rights.
“It is the duty of Governnent to not only flush them out
from whichever hole they are hiding but also to despatch them to hell where they
belong.
“Akeredolu has done and said the right thing and I urge
every single SW Governor to do the same. Fulanis, Hausas, Igbos, Ijaws and all
Nigerians are welcome in the SW but terrorists, bandits, killers and unhinged,
bloodlusting and bloodthirsty psychopaths and sociopaths are not.”
“Buhari do your job and stop the killings. Stop turning a
blind eye simply because they come from your tribe. Stop brushing this under
the carpet and treating them with kid gloves simply because they are your
footsoldiers. Stop protecting them and stop encouraging them,” he added.
