PDP advises Buhari to secure borders

This is following the incessant clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers across various states in Nigeria.

The chairman of the PDP in South-Africa, Ekos Akpokabayen said the party is worried about the killings.

Akpokabayen said “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South Africa chapter is deeply concerned about the incessant killings and destruction of property in the country by the Fulani herdsmen.

“We pray for a peaceful co-existence in Nigeria. All over the world, peace, love, truth, sincerity, and transparency remain the panacea for progress and prosperity of a nation.

“The Nigerian elite should start asking questions now, a situation where human lives are being taken without any more regards to the sacredness of life itself must be stopped forthwith.

“The government in power should measure up fast in containing this ugly menace, especially now that it is rapidly spreading to every part of the country.

“I pray Mr President to rise up to the occasion to restore the trust and dignity of the larger Nigerian citizens who have been subjected to living in fear in their own ancestral homes.

“Let it end now; fish out these people and get them to pay for all their atrocious acts against our people and tighten up our very porous borders with immediate effect.

“Get the military to defend our territorial integrity as they are saddled to do by the laws of our land, we are now a besieged nation by external militia/terrorist groups.”

Herdsmen say there will be more bloodshed

The National Vice President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Herders Association (MACBAN), Husaini Yusuf Bosso recently told newsmen that there will be more bloodshed in Benue state if the anti-grazing law is not scrapped.

Bosso also accused the Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom of flouting an international agreement that created a grazing route from Niger to the eastern part of Nigeria.
