Oh
dear, Governor Fayose has addressed Ekiti hunters saying he will equip them to
be battle ready with herdsmen. The Governor who donated N2.5m to affected
families of the recent attack by herdsmen in one of the State communities also
donated N2.5m to the hunters to get them ready. Here’s the transcript of what
the Governor said yesterday while addressing the hunters. It is well....
“Before
leaving you today, I will raise for you(hunters) N2.5million, Secondly, I will
raise N2.5m again for the affected families.
“I
want to say it very clearly, everything you want me to do, I will do. Because
the moment you are not secured then I had better resigned as a governor.
“If
I cannot provide adequate security for you, it is better for me to leave this
office. The only reason you voted for me is because you know I am competent to
do the needful in circumstances like this.
Nobody
will take Ekiti away from us.
“This
killing of our people must stop. It is deliberate and we must take all actions
to stop it.
“They
have killed two, they have killed all of us, a fight against one Ekiti man is a
fight against everybody, the President must rise up to the challenge and stand
this decaying security situation in the face, we cannot continue like this.
“When
they defeat you they will go to the next community, when they defeat that
community they will go to another one, this is Ekiti Parapo war and it must be
fought in the totality of our spirit. I stand by you, I stand for you and that
is why you elected me at a time like this. I will not disappoint you.
“Like
I said earlier, you want a Pick Up Van, today, today, I will give you a Pick
Up.
“Let
it be said, those people behind this herdsmen, we’ll defeat you, we will defeat
you. Enough of this political herdsmen operating as herdsmen but are Boko
Haram, they are coming into South West gradually, we are going to fight you.
“Anywhere
you find a cow that is grazing unnecessarily on our ways, call my attention, we
will take them out. I am going to the House of Assembly to criminalize grazing
in wrong areas. You hide under grazing to kill people, you are operating in the
night, where would you tell me someone grazing found AK47?
“Some
people are behind them, using AK 47, you rape my wife, you rape my children, if
they attempt it, bring them down! Terminate their lives! If they claim they
want to sleep with your wives, they want to touch your children, bring them
down! Bring them down!
“It
is a war against Ekiti, it must be fought with the totality of our strength.
God bless you, I want to reassure you, we’ll provide the necessary security to
keep you in your community. Don’t run away, don’t go to another community, it
is your home and nobody will have to drive you out of your home!”
