Fulani killing: PDP tells Buhari to come out clean on herdsmen activities

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on President Muhammadu
Buhari to come clean on the killing of Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen.

The party said Buhari's cold attitude towards the activities of the
herdsmen in Benue, Taraba and other parts of the country is pregnant
with meaning.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement,
yesterday, said the PDP condemned wanton killings across the country
and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to take decisive actions to
address the situation.

"We strongly condemn unabated killings across the country. We call on
Mr. President to come out clean on herdsmen killings and address the
nation on how to end the carnage. The president must take
responsibility on the protection of life and property, which is the
most important of his responsibilities.

"We believe that the federal government's decision to set up a
committee, to address issues of herdsmen killings, is a pretentious
approach to a matter that requires firm action and leadership by the
president, in line with his oath of office; to protect all Nigerians
irrespective of creed, tribe and political affiliation.

"The PDP has been the author of restructuring and this was further
expressed in the report of the 2014 National Conference. The APC, as a
latter day convert of restructuring, is merely paying lip service to a
matter of national importance. However, we have mandated our members
in the National Assembly to, immediately, commence the process of
initiating a bill; to address issues bothering on restructuring."
