The erstwhile Minister of Aviation, Mr Femi Fani Kayode has said he supports the effort being made by Sunday Igboho to drive away killer herdsmen from Oyo state.
However, he cautions that it is not all the Fulani that are bad, he made this known in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle
The herdsmen that are ravaging the SW, SS, SE & MB are the same ones that are butchering people in the NW& NE. In the south& MB we call them herdsmen & in the north they call them bandits.They do NOT epresent the Fulani: they represent only themselves & those who sent them
I subscribe to the view that killer herdsmen should be given quit notices& apprehended but I don't subscribe to the view that ALL Fulanis should be given a quit notice anywhere in the country.We are ALL Nigerians & I will defend the right of a law-abiding Fulani to reside .in any part of the country as much as I would defend the right of an Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw or any other tribe to do same.
We must learn to separate the wheat from the chaff & to be our brothers keeper. We must not allow the actions of a few to make us hate an entire tribe.The herdsmen that are ravaging the SW, SS, SE & MB are the same ones that are butchering people in the NW& NE.
