Aare Gani Adams

The Aare Ona Kakanfo, Aare Gani Adams chided all southwest governors except Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for ignoring his numerous letters and calls to take proactive steps in checking the excesses of rampaging herdsmen before it degenerated to the level of abduction and killings of innocent people in the region.

Adams warned that any governor in the region who give land to Fulani herdsmen, history will not be kind to him.

He said that Yoruba has been enjoying peace for over 120 years so, criminals will no longer be accepted into the region.

He said: “Nobody can take Yoruba land or constitute nuisance in South West because Yoruba have been living peacefully for the past 120 years, so the incursion of criminally minded people will no longer be accepted.

“History will not forgive any Southwest governor that gives land to herdsmen for the breeding of their cattle because the issue of insecurity is now overwhelming.”

“We are not only talking about southwest alone, we are talking about everywhere Yoruba live including Kogi and Kwara States. All hands must be on deck to curb insecurity because the progress of Yoruba land should be a collective effort of all of us.

“The security summit we did recently was just the first phase, there is a need for all the socio-cultural groups to come together and mobilise our traditional rulers and the governments to be in unity in fighting insecurity in their respective states. Let us unite to fight this battle to an end.”
