“We Should All Go Our Separate Ways” – Reno Tells Garba Shehu Over Reactions On Fulani Herdsmen Leaving Ondo

Nigerian author, Reno Omokiri has tackled president Muhamadu Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu after he said that no fulani herder should leave Ondo state, following the 7-day quit notice given to them by the Governor of the state.

It would be recalled that Governor Akeredolu, on January 18, ordered all fulani herdsmen to vacate the forest reserves in Ondo, following the recent spike of insecurity in the state.

Sequel to the quit notice, Garba Shehu who represented the ‘Presidency’, on Tuesday, told herdsmen not to leave Ondo, adding that they had the right to do what they liked anywhere in the country.

Reacting to the statement on social media, Omokiri questioned the equality the union called Nigeria.

Here's what he wrote; 

“Look at Garba @GarShehu saying herdsmen have a right to live and do their business anywhere in the country. 

“Yet an Igbo man does not have the right to live and sell alcohol in Kano. A Yoruba man does not have the right to run a pig farm in Sokoto. Zulum can accuse Christians, but Kukah can’t comment on the state of country?  

“What type of unequal union is this? Kano has the right to regulate alcohol sales but Ondo does not have the right to regulate killer herdsmen? We can do our own in your land, but you can’t do your own in our land. We are either all equal or we all go our separate ways!”
