Imo State Governor
Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said that it is morally wrong to stigmatize
the Fulani tribe by associating them with killer herdsmen.
The
governor said herdsmen who kill should be treated as criminals, warning that
herdsmen should not be used as a comfortable acronym to label the Fulani who
have men and women contributing to nation-building.
“We cannot be calling
Igbos kidnappers or 419ers or Niger Delta people terrorists or militants or
Hausa people Boko Harams or Fulani people killer herdsmen because of the
activities of few criminals from their areas. That is the issue. A criminal is
a criminal irrespective of tribe or religion. We cannot allow certain
sentiments to becloud our sense of reasoning,” he said.
He
also debunked insinuations that the state has cattle colonies, saying that what
the state has is a cattle market located at Lokpanta in Okigwe.
The
governor spoke when he received in audience National Leaders of the Sacred
Order of Cherubim and Seraphim led by its Supreme Head, the Prelate His
Eminence Solomon Alao, at the Government House Owerri at the weekend.
Are you a Fulani? Why don't you shut up for once. We all know you and where you are heading to.
