Following the statement of the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State should exercise caution over the order that herdsmen should vacate Ondo forests with seven days, the state government on Wednesday lashed out on the presidential spokesperson.
