Ogun state Governor, Dapo Abiodun Asked To Resign Over Fulani-Yoruba Crisis

TRIXX NG reports that a group, Arewa United Consultative Forum has asked the governor of Ogun state to resign following the crisis faced by Fulani herdsmen in the state.

This publication recall that there was a rancor between Yoruba farmers and herders in Yewa axis of the state after Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho visited the state.

In a statement issued by the  AUCF National President, Alhaji Shuaibu Dansudu, The governor was described as a disappointment to the state.

, “Governor Abiodun remains the Chief Security Officer of the state, but it is disappointing that he could not secure his state, and had to invite someone from Oyo State to come and do the job for him.

“We, therefore, call on the governor to resign his position since it appears he is not capable of functioning in that capacity. If he fails to resign, the Federal Government should withdraw his security apparatus.”

Concerning Igboho, AUCF described him as a fake activist, saying that genuine activists don’t take the law into their own hands by attacking defenceless persons.

The group admitted that there might be some criminal elements among the Fulani, just like any other tribe, but insisted that not all Fulani people could be regarded as lawless.

It said some lawful Fulani people are also victims of the killer herdsmen, adding that some politicians are using the Fulani herdsmen’s criminal activities as antics to destroy the country’s unity.

“If Igboho can arrest and even kill the real criminal herdsmen, we won’t complain, we might even invite him to the North to help us fight the criminals and bandits,” the group said.
