The presidency has reacted to Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu’s, recent directives to herdsmen. Recall that ENewsNigeria earlier reported that Akeredolu ordered herdsmen to vacate the state within 7 days. He also banned Night-grazing and movement of cattle within cities and highways. Today, Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, condemned the seven-day ultimatum given in a statement. The Presidency has been keenly monitoring events occurring in Ondo State and the “orders” by the government of the state, “asking herders to vacate the forests in seven days,” the statement read. The government of Ondo, and all the 35 others across the federation must draw clear lines between the criminals and the law abiding citizens who must equally be saved from the infiltrators. Beyond law and order, the fight against crime is also a fight for human values which are fundamental to our country”, he added
