El-Rufai Is Merely Seeking To Encourage Anarchy Under – Akeredolu
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State
The Ondo Governor and Chairman of Southern Governors Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu, has said Governor Nasir el-Rufai ”is merely seeking to encourage anarchy under the guise of resentment of anti-grazing law.
Akeredolu alleged that el-Rufai was escalating and externalizing banditry.
Recall that the Kaduna state governor had taken a swipe at his colleagues from the southern region over the passage of the anti-grazing law in their respective states, stating that they are politicizing a law that cannot be implemented.
Akeredolu reacting to el-Rufai in a statement on Wednesday by Donald Ojogo, his Commissioner for Information and Orientation, also noted that the Anti-Grazing Law, especially in Ondo State, has come to stay and shall be zealously guarded.
He further said that people ‘who have nothing evil to perpetrate have nothing to fear as regards the Law.”
Akeredolu said: “Perhaps, it is apt to state clearly that the likes of Governor el-Rufai are already in a hysteric ‘mode’ of escalating and indeed, externalising banditry, especially as the military onslaught against criminal elements and other terror variants suffices in the North.
“For emphasis, any such comment like that of the Kaduna Governor, if indeed he made that statement, merely seeks to encourage anarchy under the guise of resentment of a Law by affected stakeholders.
“In order words, it is a cleverly crafted path towards replicating in the South, the most despicable situation in the North that Nigerians of goodwill daily pray to overcome. It’s a ploy beyond the ordinary.
“It must, however, be noted that the Anti-Grazing Law, especially in Ondo State, has come to stay. It shall be zealously guarded and conscionably deployed to protect all residents of Ondo State, notwithstanding their ethnic and religious biases. Those who have nothing evil to perpetrate have nothing to fear as regards the Law.”
