The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
called on the military to direct its Operations Python Dance and Crocodile
Smile to those areas in Nigeria ,
especially the North Central States of Benue, Plateau as well as North East
States like Taraba and Adamawa
where Fulani herdsmen are killings Nigerians and destroying farmlands worth
several billions of naira.
The governor who described the reported threat by Miyeitti Allah
Kautal Hore, a splinter group of Miyeitti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, over the Benue State Anti-Open Grazing Law as reckless and open threat against
the sovereignty of Nigeria added that the silence of the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led government over the Fulani herdsmen menace was a sign of complicity
on the part of the federal government.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Monday, by his Special Assistant on
Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said: “If
the Federal Government does not want to be seen as protecting the Fulani
herdsmen, attention of the Army’s python that is dancing in the Southeast and
crocodile that is smiling in the Southwest and South South should be focused on
the killer herdsmen.”
