If there's anything more controversial about the current Buhari administration, it is the so called visa-free policy announced by President Muhammadu Buhari in Cairo late last year. The open border policy would allow other African nationals a free pass into Nigeria without the need of having a visa.
But that's not the bone of contention here, the Buhari administration has been accused of secret plot to Fulanize and Islamize the country. This strange policy by the president, is therefore, believed to be aimed toward granting herdsmen easy access into the country instead just anyone.
And Former Aviation Minister Fani Kayode described the new development as 'dangerous, self-serving and self-seeking'. He said the policy if allowed to stand, will spell doom for a country already on a life-support.
"It is a dangerous, self-serving and self-seeking policy which will ultimately result in great conflict, carnage, racial and religious strife and total catastrophy," Kayode said in a facebook post.
He added, "With this irresponsible, unpatriotic, dangerous and self-serving policy, I repeat, we are playing with fire and sitting on a keg of gunpowder which will eventually explode. It will be the final nail in the coffin of a united Nigeria."
Outspoken southern socio-cultural group, Afenifere also responded to the boastful claims by Miyethi Allah that herdsmen all over Africa will not require visa before entering Nigeria, warning that such grandstanding in the face of the proposed visa on arrival policy of the federal government can only worsen the security challenges currently faced by the country.
Responding through its National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin, the group said, “They are just confirming what we knew all along that the visa-free entry into Nigeria is a policy for Fulani herdsmen all over Africa to invade Nigeria. The government is shutting border in the western part of the country while leaving it open in the north shows it all. Who are the Africans the government is opening its borders for, is it not the Fulani that is coming to Nigeria.
"We knew but kept quiet and now they are confirming a secret we all knew that it is a policy for the Fulani herdsmen, to invade Nigeria, to change our demography and carry out their plan without let or hindrance because we have what people are calling ‘Fulani government of Nigeria.’
"Some might think there is confusion here; there is no confusion on the agenda. Shutting the border in the southern part of the country is to promote the rice being grown in the north. Asking people to come into Nigeria without a visa is a Fulanization policy; to allow herdsmen to invade and use Miyethi Allah against the rest of us.”
