Senator Abdullahi Adamu
Adamu, Chairman, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, made his position known during a recent interactive session with newsmen covering the Senate in Abuja.
“I believe as governors operating in a different tier of government, they have a constitutional responsibility.
“One of the fundamental provisions is that every Nigerian has a right of free movement and has a right to pursue legitimate business without hindrance. It is enshrined in the constitution,” he noted.
He, however, said that the duty to protect the herdsmen and the farmers rested squarely on the table of the national, state, and local governments.
“Governments owe these herdsmen a duty to protect their calling,” Adamu said.
On insecurity, Adamu who said that the menace was not alien to the country, said citizens can only hope to minimize the problem.
“This problem is not just a matter of making the law. The laws are there,” he said.
