Amaechi was lending his voice to the various divisive currently rocking Nigeria. Amaechi reminded the President that governments had come and gone but Nigeria did not break up and did not witness all the division currently bedeviling it today. Northern Elders Forum, NEF, had called on President Buhari to protect Fulani herdsmen in the South, but Amaechi urged the President not to allow selfish Nigerian elders to destroy the country. He said: “It is very clear to everybody that the upsurge, the killings or assumption of power and weapons by the herdsmen started during this regime; it was not there during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime; it was not there in late Umaru Y’Adua regime, it was not there during Goodluck Jonathan’s regime; it all started during the present Buhari’s regime, so let Nigerians count their teeth with their tongue,” he said as quoted by Vanguard.
