Buhari’s handling of herdsmen killings plagued by insincerity, ethnicity, ex-NBA boss

The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) erstwhile president, Joseph Bodunrin Daudu (SAN), has said that President Muhammadu Buhari led government has been insincere and overwhelmed by ethnicity and impunity in handling the issue of killings by Fulani herdsmen in the country.

Daudu stated this when he spoke at an end of year media briefing in Abuja organised by the Rule of Law Development Foundation on the state of the nation.

He said, “Whatever may be the cause, one point is agreed and conceded that government is not doing enough to avert or stem the crisis.

“Government’s actions or inactions are plagued by insincerity, absence of transparency, ethnicity and impunity. The solution lies in collecting and ranching cattle.

“Since the 18th century all over the world, cattle droving became unpopular in favour of ranching. To ranch cattle is a business decision that requires investment. It is not a venture that requires government support for one of the parties in order to establish ranches.

“Ranches are built on land and no individual will donate or otherwise give the rich Fulani herdsmen their land for nothing. Cattle-breeding is a profitable business. The Fulani’s can buy land from individuals and or communities. In.

BUHARI FIRED MAINA

The Presidency has given more reasons President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the disengagement of former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina from Federal Civil Service. Buhari's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, explained that the president "acted on a new set of facts" while issuing the directive for the disengagement of Maina. Giving more reasons, Adesina said Buhari relieved Maina of his duty because he left the service without permission and he ran away from the country. The presidential spokesperson added that Maina's action brought embarrassment on Buhari's government.

States are broke, nothing done in 100 days, By Dele Sobowale. Just as Emilokan got into Aso Rock and discovered that the Federal Government’s revenue for the next three years has been spent by Buhari, before he left, all the new governors are facing empty purses in addition to mountains of debts to pay. Money talks”; and virtually all the state government just finishing their first 100 days in office had very little to say because they are broke. In the past, print media was bombarded with 100 days reports from every state. We sometimes had insufficient space for them. Now, we have next to nothing to publish. As the deadline drew near, I actually got in touch with some Chief Press Secretaries of some states to ask them if they had any press release. Hitherto, the new Governors were too eager to announce what they did in such a short time. In my long experience on these pages, most of what was touted as “achievement” was a lot of malarkey – hastily implemented de...

SARS: Armed robbers’ll be happy – Ex-IG of Police warns against ban

Mike Okiro, a onetime Inspector-General of Police, IGP, has cautioned against the ban of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Okiro said the squad should be rebranded and refocused for effective service delivery rather than being banned. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday, the former IGP said the ban of SARS would lead to more robbery activities. According to Okiro, robbers would be happy at the ban of SARS. “The police management should go to the drawing board and retrain personnel of the SARS as it will be counter-productive to disband them. “You cannot throw away the baby with the bath water, if they have deviated from what they were established for they should be retrained and refocused,“he said. “Armed robbers will be happy that there is no more SARS in the country but are Nigerians ready for that, “he said.
