Lere Olayinka, the Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to Governor Ayodele Fayose of
Ekiti State, has mocked Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello.
Lamenting the recent killings in
the state by suspected herdsmen, Olayinka recalled that Bello, despite
warnings, gave the Fulanis hectares of land.
“Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi
State gave Fulani herdsmen 15,000 hectares of land for cattle colony, the herdsmen
thanked the governor and paid back with brutal murder of 35 Kogites.
“Abeg, what is that Aso Villa
Protocol Officer saying now?”, he wrote in a post on Facebook.
Dozens were reported killed as
suspected Fulani herdsmen stormed Kogi communities a few days ago.
In February, Bello in Abuja,
officially handed a letter conveying the donation of 15,000 hectares of land to
the Federal Government for the latter’s cattle colony programme.
The governor said the people and
government of the state were ready for the cattle colony programme in the
state.
Speaking during a visit to the
Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, Bello said 15,000 hectares of land has
been provided; 10,000 in Ajaokuta and 5,000 in Adavi Local Government areas,
respectively, both in the central senatorial district of the state.
The governor said the people of
the areas had been fully informed and were in agreement with the policy.
