Stop Playing Politics Over Farmers’ Death, Flush Out Criminals – PDP Tells Fayemi

Following the killings of two farmers: Mr. Toyin Akeju, known as Jisoro and Mr. Yusuf Onuche by suspected Fulani herdsmen, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has called on Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti to compel the leaders of herders in the state to fish out the farmers’ killers.

The farmers were killed in Isaba Ekiti in the Ikole council area of Ekiti State.

The Ekiti PDP on Sunday decried the incessant killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen in the state and challenged the governor to stop playing politics, but take decisive steps to end the mindless killings.

In a statement by the publicity secretary of the opposition party, Raphael Adeyanju, titled, ‘Stop playing politics with lives of Ekiti people, be proactive against herdsmen, PDP tells Fayemi’, said, “The governor must stop shedding crocodile tears and acting political correctness on the killings in the state.

“It is important that leaders of Fulani herders in the state are summoned by the government and handed a marching order to produce killers of those persons in Isaba Ekiti because they cannot claim not to know the killers among their people.

“The governor has to engage leaders of the Fulanis as done by his predecessor, Ayo Fayose, when he was governor so that they can join hands with the government to flush out criminal elements among them. The killing by herders must stop now and Governor Fayemi must act with sincerity of purpose.”
