The Executive Governor of Ekiti State, South West Nigeria,
Ayodele Fayose has called on the Nigerian Military to redirect its operation
python dance and crocodile smile to the North central states of Plateau, Benue as
well as Taraba and Adamawa in the North – East where Fulani herdsmen have
reportedly been killing innocent Nigerians and destroying farmlands worth
billions of naira.
The Governor who described as reckless the remarks
credited to the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a splinter group of Miyelti Allah
Cattle Breeders Association over the Benue state’s anti-open grazing law said
that the silence of President Muhammadu Buhari government on the matter was
complicit. In a statement by the Special Assistant on Public Communications and
new media to the governor, Lere Olayinka and a copy made available to this
medium reads, “If the Federal Government does not want to be seen as protecting
the Fulani herdsmen, the attention of the army’s python that is dancing in the
south east and crocodile smile that is smiling in the south west and south - south
should be focused on the killer herdsmen”
Fayose said that the alarm raised by Governor
Samuel Ortom of Benue State over alleged plan by the Miyelti Allah to launch fresh
attack on the state should disturb peace-loving citizens adding that the moment
a state governor begins to raise alarm as done by Governor Ortom, those playing
ostrich to the herdsmen’s menace should know that they can no longer pretend
that all is well.
