BOMBSHELL!!! REP BLAST BUHARI FOR HIS SILENCE, LINKS HIM TO HERDSMEN ATTACKS (FULL DETAILS)
A member of the House of
Representatives, Mr. Dickson Tarkighir, has accused President Muhammadu
Buhari of not doing enough to curtail the threat to lives and property
by herdsmen in the country.
Speaking with The Guardian in Abuja, the
lawmaker, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
representing Makurdi/Guma Federal Constituency of Benue State, urged
President Buhari to take stiff action on herdsmen responsible for the
destruction of lives and property across the country.
The lawmaker, who is the sponsor of the
Cattle Ranch Bill, which has passed the first reading stage on the floor
of the House of Representatives, argued that rather than the
much-touted grazing reserve routes, the establishment of cattle ranches
remains the panacea to the incessant clashes between herdsmen and
farmers in the country.
Said he: “I must say that the incessant
attacks by herdsmen on communities across the country has brought a lot
of anxiety. Government needs to act fast. I am surprised that the
President has been silent over the killings in Agatu in Taraba, Kogi,
Nasarawa, especially the north central valley.
“The President has said nothing. People
are beginning to think that his presidency has emboldened herdsmen to
attack communities across the country because he is a Fulani man who
also owns a cattle ranch. The President is supposed to lead by example.
“Let him show cattle rearers where his
ranch is, show them that this is the best way to graze cattle. If the
President can ranch his own cattle, that is the reason why he should
preach the idea of having ranches and ensure that those who cannot
afford this are given incentives to do this.
“The President has condemned the attacks
in Brussels and Paris by terrorists, but he has not come out to condemn
the attack on Agatu and people are reading a whole lot of meanings to
this. He has not proffered a solution since these crises started.”
