Buhari finally reacts to herdsmen attacks, tells govs to stop killer herdsmen in their states

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged governors to stop waiting for him to solve every problem for them, saying they should stop attacks by herdsmen in their states.

The president stated this during an interview with Arise TV on Thursday.

He said; “You know these people more than I do, and you are democratically elected to protect your people. Don’t sit idly expecting me to do everything, take action.”

Buhari also recalled two South-West governors who recently visited him to complain about encroachment by herdsmen on farmlands in their states, but adviced them to protect their people.

Farming Communities in states across the nation have been experiencing attacks from Fulani herdsmen millitias thereby putting pressure on the president to intervene.

Although state governors have complained that security architecture takes instructions solely from the president who is the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, the recent revelation by president Buhari may be a boost to them.
