Adamu Garba, a former presidential aspirant has reacted to
the ongoing rift between Sunday Igboho, his supporters and the Fulani residing
in Igbangan, Oyo State.
Recall that Yoruba activist, Sunday
Igboho, made real his threat to expel the Fulani from Igangan in Oyo State.
Igboho disclosed that he acted on the request of traditional
rulers.
Reacting, Garba in a tweet via his Twitter account on
Monday, said even though he is a Fulani man, he was totally against the idea of
allowing cows to roam the streets in 2021.
He further revealed that by law, land can only be used
through rent or purchase, adding that government should step forward and
resolve the dispute.
“I’m a Fulani man, but it actually doesn’t make sense for
cows to be roaming the streets in 2021. Cows should be ranched on a land
acquired or rented by the ranchers.Also, by law land can only be used through
rent or purchase.
“I believe, to reconcile the raging herders crisis is to
open proper communication where each knows the laws of the land. All lands in
Nigeria, including forests belongs to some entity, FG, SGs, LGs, Company’s or
individuals. Thus no land can be used without proper authorization.
“The problem of the Fulani herders is a betrayal from the
city Fulanis, who decided, after moving to cities, acquiring wealth &
power, but failed to carry the village brothers along, leaving them in a
desperate situation.
“I would advise that the rich Fulanis should come together
and acquire ranching lands while government step forward and dissolve this
dispute.
“No state power can give land to anyone where the land is
been identified with owners for generations, without purchasing or renting.
“Lastly, lack of proper communication to the herders in
understanding the law of land use, by bringing the surrounding communities
onboard isn’t good enough.
“It can as well be a breeding ground for conflicts and a
very ripe situation for civil war. This must however be avoided AT ALL COST,”
he said.

Actually, I will tell you, this man is not a Fulani or he was born and brought up far from his Fulani kinsmen. He is the only Fulani that have ever tell the truth. Even Atiku has never say the truth as it is, like this.
