“Look, people have misunderstood what the Fulani herdsmen are asking for.
The herdsmen are only asking for empty lands, bushes, forests or you may choose to call it anything you like.
“What they are not asking for is your house.
“They stay in the bush while you enjoy yourself in the comfort of your house.
“How would there be a problem? Allow these men to be for instance, do you know that one single cattle colony in the South East will solve a lot of problems for the herdsmen”, he said.
However some Nigerians, especially those from southeast Nigeria have taken to their social media handles to slam the APC chieftain, stating that his comments does not make sense at all.
While others registered their disappointment towards the way the man sounded, stating that giving the Fulanis free lands is a way of helping the Fulanization and islamization agenda as disclosed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
