A controversial APC Chieftain, Adamu Garba has given his stand on the Yoruba-Fulani crisis currently going on in south west especially.
He made it known that it doesn’t make sense that cows roam about in the streets in 2021 and that herders should get ranching lands that can be used for grazing.
He explained that the problem the Fulanis have is betrayal from the city Fulanis who didn’t help the other ones after they became wealthy.
He called on the rich Fulani herders to come together to buy ranching lands.
‘I’m a Fulani man, but I can tell you that it doesn’t make sense for cows to be roaming the streets in 2021.
Cows should be ranched on a land acquired or rented by the ranchers.
By law, land can only be used through rent or purchase.
Govt should step forward & clear this out.
I believe, to reconcile the raging herders crisis is to open proper communication where each knows the laws of the land.
All lands in Nigeria, including forests belongs to some entity, FG, SGs, LGs, Company’s or individuals.
Thus no land can be used without proper authorization.
The problem of the Fulani herders is a betrayal from the city Fulanis, who decided, after moving to cities, acquiring wealth & power, but forget to carry the village brothers along, leaving them in a desperate situation.
The rich Fulanis must come together & get ranching lands.
Land issue is as old as humanity, no any state power can give land to anyone where the land is been identified with owners for generations, without purchasing or renting.
The rich Fulani’s must come together & assist our fellow brothers to get reaching land or forest for grazing.
Else, this will be a breeding ground for a circlical conflicts, a very ripe situation for civil war. This must be avoided AT ALL COST
