TERRORIST ATTACKS: Don’t Listen To Buhari, Go To Affected Areas And See For Yourself – Banji Akintoye To UN Secretary-General

Prof Banji Akintoye, a Yoruba Nation arrowhead, has encouraged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to visit areas of herdsmen and terrorist attacks instead of listening to Nigeria’s President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Guterres, who came to Nigeria on Tuesday for a two-day official visit, was also briefed by Akintoye that the nation is a failed state.

Akintoye said Buhari has neglected Nigeria’s variety and ethnicity by running a “government of the Fulani, by the Fulani, and for the Fulani” in a statement signed on Wednesday and made accessible to media by his Communications Manager, Maxwell Adeleye.

In the statement, which was titled, ‘Your Visit to Nigeria, a charade if you don’t visit the theatres of the criminality of Fulani terrorists in South, Middle-Belt,’ Akintoye said to the UN Secretary-General, “Your Excellency cannot get the true picture of how close to the precipice Nigeria is unless you visit the theatres of the criminality of this government. Visit the Middle Belt, behold the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen and marvel. Visit the Southwest.

“Visit Ifon, also in Ondo State, whose traditional ruler was murdered by Fulani herdsmen. Visit Southern Kaduna where ethnic cleansing is a daily activity of the murderous Fulani nihilists. The same thing is happening in Taraba, Plateau, Niger, Ogun and Oyo states where Fulani herdsmen maim, rape, kill farmers and destroy farmlands in their land-grabbing drive across the southern region of the country.

“Your Excellency, the list is endless! And the atrocities have not abated. The Buhari administration refuses to allow the victims arm and defend themselves whereas the murderers are allowed to roam about with AK-47 looting, raping, maiming, and killing,” Akintoye was quoted as saying.

“You must be aware of how the secret security service of the Buhari administration invaded the home of Yoruba self-determination activist, Sunday Adeyemo Ighoho, killing and maiming innocent and law-abiding citizens and destroying property worth millions of dollars.

“The Nigerian court system has described the invasion as a lawless and vagrant violation of Igboho’s rights. Costs running into billions of Naira were awarded against the Nigerian government.

“But the Buhari government is lawless and cherry-picks which court decisions to obey and which to disregard. In saner climes which I am sure you are familiar with, the law is no respecter of persons and court judgments are binding on all. Not so the Buhari administration!

“Hence, the generally acclaimed estimation of Nigeria today as a failed state. But before the situation gets out of hand, please act quickly!”
