With all the attacks in Benue State and attack on a sitting governor,
Gabriel Suswan, the then president of Nigeria never gave an order for
any rampaging herdsman to be dealt with. Time for action.Against the background of reports of attacks on communities across the
country by some armed herdsmen, President Muhammadu Buhari has restated
his administration’s resolve to deal decisively and expeditiously with
the matter.
Speaking at a meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, President Buhari said that heads of national security agencies have been ordered to take all necessary action to apprehend and expose those behind the heinous attacks, without minding if they are Fulani or not.
"We are determined to secure all Nigerians and I have told the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies, in very strong terms, to deal decisively with the attackers,” the president said.
President Buhari expressed his condolences to the Catholic Bishop of Enugu, the people of Ukpabi Nimbo and all other communities that have suffered fatalities and other losses from the recent attacks.
Speaking on other national issues, the president assured the Bishops that he was acting with deliberation and moving methodically to implement his change agenda for the good of the country.
“We need to rebuild our institutions methodically, we need to change the way we do things. In the last 10 years, crude oil sold for more than $100 per barrel, but Nigeria did not save. That is why we have found ourselves where we are today,” the president stressed.
He assured that he is working hard to restructure Nigeria and make it difficult for few people to just steal the country's money and become overnight Billionaires while majority of Nigerians suffer.
