Osun State governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has appealed to the
Bororo/Fulani herdsmen and farmers in the South West to continue to
co-operate with governments in the region, in order to maintain the
prevailing peace there.
Aregbesola made the appeal in Osogbo at a peace forum organised for
the Cattle Breeders and Dealers Association of Nigeria in the South
West by the State Chapter of the association.
The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State
Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, observed that there had always been
harmonious relationship among Bororo/ Fulani and Crop Farmers in the
state.
He recalled that whatever misunderstanding had always been settled amicably, in the spirit of give-and-take gesture.
Aregbesola, however, condemned the attitude of using minors to lead
cattle, explaining that they were always naive in encroaching upon
other people’s farms.
At the meeting, the entire leadership of the Cattle Breeders and
Dealers Association of Nigeria in the South West commended the Osun
State Government for the wisdom employed in dealing with the community.
They expressed their desire to meet with the governors of States in
the South West, in order to fashion out modalities for continued
amicable relationship with the entire Fulani community.
