Stop Playing Politics, Be Decisive With Killer Herdsmen, PDP Tells Fayemi

*Security is everybody’s business ― APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has decried
the recent killings of farmers in the state by suspected herdsmen,
calling on Governor Kayode Fayemi to stop playing politics and be
decisive in taming the activities of the criminal elements.

This is just as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
revealed that people of the state must rise up and take the issue
of security seriously, noting that all hands must be on deck in
tackling the waves of crimes in the state.

It will be recalled that herdsmen on Saturday shot dead two
farmers in Isaba-Ekiti, Ikole council area of the state,
development which has generated a series of agitations in the
state.

The Publicity Secretary of PDP, Mr Raphael Adeyanju in a
statement while commiserating with the families of the deceased,
said, “the killing by herders must stop now and that the Governor
Fayemi must act with sincerity of purpose.”

According to the opposition party, “It is also important that
leaders of Fulani herders in the State are summoned by the
government and handed a matching order to produce killers of those
three persons in Isaba Ekiti because they cannot claim not to know
the killers among their people.

“The governor must have to engage leaders of the Fulanis as done
by Fayose when he was governor so that they can join hands with the
government to flush out criminal elements among them.

“Most importantly, Governor Fayemi must stop giving
consideration to his future political ambition at the expense of
the lives and properties of Ekiti people. Or of what importance is
a political ambition that is nurtured with the blood of the people
of Ekiti?”

On his part, the spokesman of the APC, Ade Ajayi while
condemning the attack on the farmers, urged security agents
including Amotekun corps to apprehend the killers and bring them to
book.

He noted that the administration of Dr Fayemi is committed to
the security of lives and property of the citizens, while also
commiserating with the families of the farmer.

Ajayi said: ” We have sent our party leaders to commiserate with
them in the community. We condemned the attack on the farmers and
we are urging the security forces and our Amotekun corps to go
after these killer herders to arrest and prosecute them. The
killings must stop.

” We want our people to be security-conscious and report every
strange persons or movement in their localities to the appropriate
quarters. It is the business of everybody.”
