El-Rufai struggling to export banditry to South — Akeredolu

The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has carpeted the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over the latter’s comment on anti-open grazing law.

El-Rufai had described the anti-open grazing laws signed by some of southern governors as unimplementable and unrealistic.

But Akeredolu, in a statement by the Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, faulted El-Rufai.

He said: “From all indications, Governor Nasir El-Rufai, if he was properly quoted and his views not misrepresented, is struggling hard to export banditry to the South under an expressed opinion that is laced with mischief.

“Perhaps, it is apt to state clearly that the likes of Governor El-Rufai are already in a hysteric ‘mode’ of escalating and indeed, externalising banditry, especially as the military onslaught against criminal elements and other terror variants suffices in the North.

“For emphasis, any such comment like that of the Kaduna Governor, if indeed he made that statement, merely seeks to encourage anarchy under the guise of resentment of a law by affected stakeholders.”
