Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has lambasted the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu for \u201cdisrespecting\u201d President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s comment followed a statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, on recurring herdsmen-farmers\u2019 crisis in the country.<\/p>\n

Shehu had announced that Buhari approved measures to bring an end to the skirmishes long before the ban on open grazing by the Southern Governors Forum.<\/p>\n

The aide noted that the governors\u2019 resolutions failed to proffer solutions to the crises, \u201cthat have been continuing in our country for generations\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir announcement is of questionable legality, given the constitutional right of all Nigerians to enjoy the same rights and freedoms regardless of the state of their birth or residence\u201d, he wrote.<\/p>\n

In a rejoinder through his Special Duties and Strategy assistant, Doyin Odebowale, Akeredolu told Shehu to disclose the real motive(s) of those he serves.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can\u2019t continue to hide under some opaque, omnibus, and dubious directives to create confusion in the polity\u201d, it read.<\/p>\n

But in a statement signed by BMO Chairman, Niyi Akinsiji and Secretary Cassidy Madueke said the governor\u2019s position was an intemperate, reckless and spiteful outburst against the President.<\/p>\n

The group said it was unfortunate that Akeredolu could sign off on a vitriolic press statement by Odebowale that not only calls to question Buhari\u2019s decision but also a disguised attack on Shehu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe find it strange that a governor elected on the same platform as the President and whose rise to the position he presently occupies owes to President Buhari\u2019s goodwill at a time the governor was not in the good books of the party\u2019s influential leaders could hide behind an uncouth aide to throw subtle shade at his benefactor.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMO said Akeredolu, through his aide, gave the impression that Shehu was not speaking the President\u2019s mind on the matter even though there was a reference to a commissioned report that was the outcome of consultation with farmers and herders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor\u2019s aide went ballistic, apparently without adequately comprehending the message, and proceeded on a rant that was not different from the inflammatory rhetoric Sunday Igboho and his co-travellers have been pushing out.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMO recalled Akeredolu attacked the presidency after its reaction to Ondo\u2019s eviction notice to herdsmen in Ondo.<\/p>\n

The group said the messages from the state government indicate that Sunday Igboho \u201cmay have been right when he claimed that he enjoyed the support of Governor Akeredolu for his secessionist agitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is becoming increasingly clear that Akeredolu has a partner in the political thug that is at the forefront of demands for a Yoruba nation despite his half-hearted attempt to dissociate himself from Igboho.<\/p>\n

\u201cOtherwise, why would his aide pretend not to know the difference between peaceful and law-abiding herdsmen who the ranches would be available to and those he called \u2018denizens of the forests\u2019?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are constrained to say that the statement by the governor\u2019s aide reeks of malice, and the references therein are outright falsehood by someone out to misrepresent an innocuous statement from the presidency.<\/p>\n

BMO advised Akeredolu to call his \u201cattack dog to order for making unverified allegations and resorting to ethnic profiling to drive home his warped position\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
