If We Continue To Wait For General Buhari's Government, Fulani Herdsmen Will Kill All Of US—Prof Akintoye

 

The story:

The Worldwide Leader of the Yoruba global movement, Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof Banji Akintoye, has accused the Presidency of supporting criminality by faulting Ondo Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's order asking herdsmen to vacate forest reserves in the state.

In an interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday, the historian asked people of the Yoruba race and Nigerians to prepare to defend themselves against herdsmen.

He accused Fulani herdsmen of engaging in full-scale criminality since President Muhammadu Buhari became Nigeria's president. 

The Yoruba elder wondered why the Federal Government had refused to prosecute many Fulani herdsmen engaging in criminal activities. 

He said, "The Presidency is now initiating a very dangerous doctrine of governance in Nigeria. The presidency is now saying that the state's authority no longer includes the security of the people of the state. 

"That is not only bad but dangerous to the existence of Nigeria. It is an assessment of the quality of governance in Nigeria by the rest of the world.

"All Nigerians who are being assaulted, raped, and killed by the Fulani must defend themselves; not only Yorubas or those living in Ondo. If we continue to wait for the Federal Government, these herdsmen will kill all of us. We must rise to defend ourselves.

"The Nigerian government has shown again that it is working for the Fulani. I don't think anybody should be afraid to say that because it is the truth. The Fulani has been committing crimes on a massive scale since 2015 in Nigeria. 

"The government has never owned up that they are committing the crime. They have been going around kidnapping, killing people, and destroying farms, properties, and villages on a persistent scale and those things are crimes under the laws of Nigeria. In some parts of the country, it looks as if the army is colluding with them (herdsmen)."

The Ilana Omo Oodua leader commended Akeredolu, urging Yoruba to support him. 

"Akeredolu should be commended for his decision, for his courage and show of knowledge of the land. We support what he is doing. We are waiting for what government would come and do in Ondo State," he added. 

Background:

Following the incessant case of kidnapping, rapes and killings going on in parts Ondo state, south West Nigeria, the chief security officer of the state in the person of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, issued an order demanding that the Fulani Herdsmen vacate the forest reserve.

The Fulani herdsmen who are illegally occupying the forest reserve have been fingers in numerous acts of criminalities including kidnappings, rapes and gruesome murder of innocent farmers, indigenes, settlers and travelers.

The spokesperson of the presidency Malam GArba Shehu in a statement signed by him, faulted the order by the governor and suggested that the order will be countered and this led to many reactions by well-meaning Nigerians.

Threat of War: REMOVE US FROM THE FOREST AND FACE WAR - Fulani Nationalist Movement (FUNAM)

"Our attention has been drawn to a decree credited to one Rotimi Akeredolu asking Fulani people who have occupied some forests in Ondo State to quit.

We are also aware of another incidence in Oyo State where an illiterate political thug gave quit notice to Fulani people to leave the territories which are now their irreversible homes.

This is not only an irresponsible demand but a call to arms of the faithful who have been pursuing their legitimate business in these forests.

We have given a counter order. No Fulani will move an inch either in Oyo, Ondo or any part of the Western part of Nigeria.

On behalf of Fulani Nationalist Movement, (FUNAM) we hereby warn the governments Oyo and it’s agent, one Sunday Igboho and the Ondo State Govt to rescind their orders or face serious consequences.

It is shocking that the said Igboho and Akeredolu who is a beneficiary of the system is giving a stupid order that he knows no one will respect. We didn’t get the forests through him and how does he expect Fulani to obey his empty order? If he had been shot during attack on him, will he be alive to give orders? Humans have a short memory.

The Fulani people in these forests acquired these lands legitimately the Fulani also operates under the ECOWAS protocol on free movement of persons. The people giving the orders should know they do not have the capacity to enforce such orders.

First they are not the Nigerian Police neither are they the Nigerian Army. The National Assembly has not given such not even the Houses of Assembly in the two states acquiesce to such IRRESPONSIBLE demand.

The Fulani will resist by all means necessary, including armed resistance any attempt to forcefully eject them from these Forests that in reality does not belong to these States alone. Some are Federal Reserve Forests.

We want to ask Akeredolu whether those communities brought the lands from heaven.

We warn that any one Fulani blood that is shed further in the South West will automatically lead to upheaval in the six states of Lagos,Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun State.

We the Fulani are on red alert and waiting for the call and will never succumb to any threat or intimidation by ethnic bigots, Baadu Salisu Ahmadu,given my new responsibility, will with other faithful NEVER fail the Fulani Nation in it’s Allah chosen destiny".

Akeredolu, SHOCK them before they SHOCK you! - Reno

Reno Omokri, the self acclaimed "BuhariTormentor" in what of his series of response to what many have  interpreted as an endorsement of the illicit activities of the Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria by the Presidency of General Muhamadu Buhari through the presidency's spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu posted the following.

"The funniest thing is that if Rotimi Akeredolu does nothing and herdsmen kill Ondo people, it is the same useless Garba Shehu that will issue a useless ‘President Buhari is SHOCKED by the killings’ statement. Look at all the people herdsmen killed in Benue. All that Benue people have is Buhari’s SHOCK. The killers have not been found or punished till today. Nigerians are tired of being SHOCK ABSORBERS."

"Akeredolu, SHOCK them before they SHOCK you!" He concluded

He also send ahead to make reference to other killings especially that of Benue state and stated that all the presidency was able to say is the usual "Buhari SHOCKED by the killings" and therefore advised Governor Rotimi Akeredolu TO SHOCK them before He is SHOCKED!"
