Southern Governors Confused, Should Face IPOB Terrorists, Leave Herders Alone — Miyetti Allah

The National Secretary of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Alhassan
Saleh, says the ban on open grazing of cattle by southern governors
is an ‘empty policy’.

The governors had after a four-hour meeting in Asaba, Delta
State on Tuesday agreed that open grazing should be banned.

Open grazing of cattle has often caused conflicts between host
communities and migrant herders, leading to several deaths in many
states.

Some of the herders have also been accused of committing other
criminal acts like armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder.

Speaking to SaharaReporters on Wednesday, Saleh said herders are
not the problem facing the country.

He described the southern governors as confused and
mischievous.

“The governors are confused and mischievous, are herders the
problem of this country? Are they Biafra people killing people up
and down, burning police stations?

“They are confused, or are they not confused? If they can’t
address the terrorist activities being perpetrated by Nnamdi Kanu
(leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra) and his Igbo terrorist
group called IPOB, I think they are really confused, if they are
not confused, then they are mischievous.

“Is there anything like secret grazing? Let the governors go
ahead to continue instigating their mobs to keep killing herdsmen.
Can they comply with an empty policy? Where are the ranches?

“Are herdsmen the problem of this country? Are they the ones
looting the treasury? They should leave the herders alone. They
should stop killing innocent herders.”
