Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as
Sunday Igboho, said on Sunday that President Bola Tinubu will not allow
lawlessness that led to herders killing farmers under the immediate past
administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Igboho cautioned herders against the thought of further
attacks on farmers in the Southwest.
He remarked in reaction to a comment by the national
president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, who dismissed
his recent quit notice to Fulani herders to vacate the Southwest.
In October, Igboho had given Fulani herders seven days to vacate the Southwest.
However, Bodejo had condemned the ultimatum issued by Igboho
in a recent interview.
Igboho, in his reaction, described Bodejo as a “mere attention
seeker.” He insisted that Nigeria’s Constitution does not support mindless
killings of farmers, rape of their wives, and destruction of farmlands.
In a statement he signed, Igboho said: “Some alleged killer
Fulani herders must be stopped from re-igniting tension and an atmosphere of
insecurity in any part of Nigeria, most especially in the agrarian communities
and settlements in Yorubaland, by the security agencies.
“It is imperative for the Miyetti Allah group to be
conscious of the fact that the acts of lawlessness permeated under former
President Muhammadu Buhari will not hold sway under the immediate incumbent
President Bola Tinubu.
“It is glaring that Bodejo is merely seeking undue
recognition through his unjustifiable position on the carnage by his fellow
Fulani herders, which had caused untold hardship for small and large-scale
farmers, even in the North and more prominently in the South, where they often
move their cattle to graze farms and destroy cash crops.
“It will do them a lot of good to perish the thought of
unprovoked attacks on farmers, particularly in the South West, where we have
lost many innocent farmers. Relevant security agencies and the people will not
allow them to further compound the woes of the common man.”
