Fulani herdsmen behaving arrogantly like “landlords” of Nigeria – Niger Delta group

The Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, a union of monarchs, leaders and stakeholders of the coastal states of Niger Delta, Wednesday, has warned that the atrocities allegedly being perpetrated by Fulani herdmsne in the region must end now.

PANDEF urged state governors, particularly of southern regions, and the people, “not be perturbed by the tirades of this self-conceited people.”

National Publicity Secretary, PANDEF, Hon Ken Robinson, in a statement, asserted, “It speaks to their general disposition of arrogance and erroneous grandiosity.”

His words: “PANDEF implores the Northern Elders and their surrogates to get off the high-horse. And the sooner, the better, for the country, and all of us. Nigeria belongs to all of us, no section owns the country more the other; we are equal stakeholders.”

Where was the Northern Elders Forum when arm-wielding herdsmen were killing, harassing innocent citizens, and raping women in their farms? “Northern Elders did not realize then that they were setting the country on a dangerous path.

“Meyitti Allah Cattle Rearers group has been arrogantly conducting themselves like “landlords” of Nigeria, without any demonstration. “It is now that southern governors have begun taking appropriate steps to safeguard lives and livelihoods of their people, that Northern elders have found their voice in defense of the herdsmen.

“It is a pity that in a heterogeneous country like Nigeria, one ethnic group would make itself a content of crisis.

“For goodness’ sake, cattle rearing is a private business; let those involved establish ranches, instead of taking over lands and terrorizing communities.

“The killings, kidnappings, and other criminal activities being perpetrated by herdsmen will not be allowed to continue.

“While PANDEF would denounce any attacks on innocent citizens, by any group, in any part of the country, it is important to emphasize that the prohibition of open grazing and movement of cattle, as well as the ejection orders to groups who have been illegally and forcefully occupying forests, are pertinent and indisputable,” he stated.
