Obaseki Sends Warning Over Farmers, Herders’ Crisis | Daily Report Nigeria

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state, yesterday, cautioned against politicising the herders and farmers clashes in the country and urged nomads to identify the criminal elements among them in the interest of peace.

He said this during a fact-finding visit to Udo, Ovia South-West Council, where he urged the council leadership to re-introduce the weekly stakeholders’ security meeting in the area.

“We are on a fact-finding tour to some parts of the state to access the security situation particularly as it relates to farmers and herders conflicts.

“As a government, we do not believe we should politicise security issues. It is important that we get the facts right and understand what exactly is going on. We had reports about the crisis or impending crisis on this axis.

“We have also had anxieties, but I will call them speculations on social media about herdsmen being pushed from neighboring states into this area and the impending crisis.”
