Cows Must Eat Grass, So No Way Farmers And Herders Won t Clash Seriki Fulani
The public notion towards Fulani as kidnappers is wrong and I would never agree or succumb to that because it is a false allegation against all of us.

The Seriki Fulani of Igangan, Oyo State, Salihu Abdulkadir, who was evicted from his base some weeks ago has said there is no way farmers and herders will not clash as cows must eat grass.
He, however, said there should be some sort of compensation for affected farmers.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Oyo State Governor, Mr Taiwo Adisa, on Saturday explained why the governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, had yet to personally visit the Ibarapa and Oke Ogun areas of the state.
The areas have recently witnessed some crisis following the eviction order issued to Fulani residents by a Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho.
Adisa said the governor would not jump the gun by altering the processes that must be followed in ensuring that the sensitive matters on the ground were addressed through a pragmatic approach.
He said the governor not showing up physically in the troubled areas did not suggest that he had not fully taken charge of his duty as the chief security officer of the state.
