Insentient Presidency and the making of Sunday Igboho


Share
For those who have spent the last six years, defending the regime of General Muhammadu Buhari and its acquiescence to the bloodletting activities of criminality-minded herdsmen across the country, the events of the last one week should be enough to open their eyes or they remain blind permanently. Nothing has exposed the complicity of the presidency in all the killings, kidnappings, farmer/herders clashes in the South West, and nay, in every other part of the country, with similar occurrences, more than that office’s reaction to the last week’s ultimatum issued by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to illegal herders in the state’s Forest Reserves to vacate same. The governor’s action was premised on the incessant kidnappings, killings, rape and other nefarious activities perpetrated by herdsmen in the entire state and the need to register genuine herders and apprehend those criminal elements who have overtime, infiltrated the ranks of the herdsmen. But from the blues came the Presidency, which did not only condemn the governor’s directive, but went ahead to accuse Akeredolu of an attempt “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”, but tacitly injected that the order “could set off a chain of events which the makers of our constitution foresaw and tried to guard against”. Buoyed by the unfortunate statement signed by Garba Sheu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, the herders’ pressure group, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, through Bello Bodejo, declared that nobody could chase herdsmen away from the Forest Reserves in Ondo State. Bodejo was arrogant in his response to the ultimatum. He said the Fulani herders had been in the forests Akeredolu was talking about ever before the governor was born; over 250 years. The herders, he claimed, fertilised the land with their cow dung before the “people would begin to come there to farm and to settle and from then, they begin to make claims that our cattle were destroying their farms”. In essence, by Miyetti Allah’s reckoning, the herders got to the forests before the Ondo farmers! “The herdsmen will not step an inch out of Ondo forests; they are going nowhere”, he told Akeredolu. The body was followed swiftly by the Northern Elders Forum, which also directed the herders to disregard Akeredolu’s order.
