Having not suffered any traumatic dilemma over his overweening
loyalty to herdsmen who are his fellow Fulani, President Muhammadu Buhari is
oblivious of his rapid erasure as a statesman. Or if he is aware, he is not
bothered about the grim verdict of history – here was a president of a great
nation who ended as a leader of a segment of the country, Fulani herdsmen.

Yes, we must discountenance Buhari’s sense of
justice that seeks to exculpate him from the tragedies being unleashed by
Fulani herdsmen. He vouchsafed this notion of justice during his visit to
Plateau after the Fulani herdsmen’s attacks whose death toll has been
officially put at 135 while witnesses claim it is over 200. He wondered why he
should be accused of being silent over the now perennial massacres.
