Lack of political will to fight rampaging herdsmen not good enough- Anambra monarch, Igwe Nick Obi
Lack of political will to fight rampaging herdsmen not good enough- Anambra monarch, Igwe Nick Obi
www.odogwublog.com reports that the
traditional ruler of Nnobi town HRH Igwe (Engr) Nick Obi (Omenyili) has
said that the way out of Fulani herdsmen problem in the country
is for the duty bearers to develop the political will to tackle the
rampaging killers.
Igwe Obi stated this in an interview with newsmen in his palace in Nnobi
in Idemili South local government area of Anambra state.
The
traditional ruler who was asked what to do on the Fulani herdsmen
problem in the country said " the way out of the problem is that we
should do the right thing and the right thing is if we are going to keep
herds of cattle or cows, they should fend them, they should feed them,
provide medicine for them and do what you do with poultry or piggery,
they don't roam all over the places".
Igwe
Obi pointed out Nigeria does not have five percent of the population of
cattle that nations like Brazil and US can boast of, yet they have
developed a system of keeping the cattle in a ranch without any cow
roaming the streets.
Ranches
and not cattle colonies according to the monarch is the only way out of
the present situation Nigeria has found herself in relation to the
menace of Fulani herdsmen. "I don't know what our president wants to do
about the ugly and embarrassing development but the way we are tackling
the menace at the moment is not the right way. It appears there is no
political will to do the right thing right".
The
Anambra monarch disclosed that the Anambra State Elders' Council under
the chairmanship of Chief Emeka Anyoku had in a meeting made it clear
that the state does not want cattle colony as there is no land for such a
venture in the state and emphasized that the Fulani herdsmen should go
for ranches to cary out their business of cattle rearing and not
colonies.
