Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, has exposed what he thinks is the alleged link between the federal government currently headed by President Muhammadu Buhari and the herdsmen who have continued with attacking communities without restraint. Fayose is not happy with the recent threat by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), the umbrella body for herdsmen in Nigeria who openly threatened to wage war against the government and people of Ekiti state. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp President Buhari and Fayose Ekiti state currently has a law that restricts the activities of the herdsmen and Fayose recently arrested some of them for flouting the law. He however claims MACBAN has lied that four cattle belonging to its members were killed by the newly inaugurated Ekiti Grazing Enforcement Marshal (EGEM). “Four days after this threat was issued against the government and people of Ekiti state by the Miyetti Allah, the federal government is yet to act in any manner that will disabuse the minds of Ekiti people, who believed that the federal government is in support of the threat. “The silence of the federal government has no doubt further confirmed the insinuation that there is plot to give tacit support to the herdsmen to invade some border towns and villages in Ekiti state and cause chaos in the State so as to justify the evil agenda of declaration of a state of emergency on the state
“Nigerians should be reminded that in May, this year, Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria said openly that the reason for the killing of over 1,000 people in Benue state was the killing of over 800 cattle by Tiv youths. In other words, Miyetti Allah boldly told Nigerians that its members (herdsmen) killed over 1,000 Agatu people of Benue state because their cows were killed!” Fayose noted. According to him, up till today, no one has been arrested for the massacre in Agatu in Benue state and now, “Ekiti state and its people are being threatened by this same Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, and the federal government has pretended as if nothing was wrong. “From the words and antecedents of the Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, it is clear that they have assurance beyond their personal minds from the federal government to kill Nigerians in place of their cows. If not, by now, the man who signed that press statement, threatening the entire people of Ekiti State ought to have been arrested and questioned.
