Femi Adesina, special adviser to
the president on media and publicity, has accused the opposition of sponsoring
the widespread killings in the country.
Speaking on Arise TV on
Wednesday, Adesina said the president’s enemies resorted to the “bestial act”
to discredit his scorecard on security.
He said the killings were being
instigated to weaken the incumbent government.
Adesina said security agencies were
investigating those behind the killings, adding that they will be dealt with
once they are identified.
“You have the true herders and
farmers who are clashing and you have hidden hostile hands who have crept in
under that umbrella to play what the president has described as irresponsible
politics,” he said.
“This farmers/herders’ clash has
been going on for a long time. When I say long time, I mean far long before
this administration.
“Like the president said, the
issue is even older than anybody living today. What you have today are being
sponsored because they know security is one of the strongest points of the
administration.
“The president said so in a
national broadcast. He also said the security agencies are investigating and
has warned that once they are identified, they will be dealt with.
“The intention of the opposition
in any democracy is to weaken the incumbent as much as possible and the
opposition in Nigeria has identified security as one of the strong points of
the Buhari administration. So they decided to go to that area finding the soft
under belly and stick a knife into it.”
