Fayose‬ talks tough on Fulani herdsmen murder of two in Ekiti

"Before leaving you today, I will raise for you(hunters)

#2.5m, Secondly, I will raise #2.5m 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 drive you

out of your home!"

~Governor Ayodele Fayose, while addressing local hunters at

Oke-Ako Ekiti.
