“I will not allow the settlement of Fulani herdsmen anywhere in our State until it is clear that they, under the guise of herding, no longer pose a threat to lives, farmlands and properties. Banditry and terrorism will not be tolerated in anyway.”
According to him, ‘as much as peace and co-existence is preferred, we cannot keep losing the lives of our people to bandits posing as business men.
