CP Ihagh
Chief Iorbee Ihagh, a retired Comptroller of Prison (CP) and the President General of Mzough U Tiv and Benue Socio-Cultural organisations comprising the trio of major ethnic groups in the state has joined the call by other Nigerians, demanding that President Muhammadu Buhari resign from office for losing control of the country to a cabal.
He stated that he agrees with the decision of the Southern governors and Northern Elders Forum (NEF) that the president should resign, adding that President Buhari is not in control, adding that “I have said that before. He is not in control. Sometimes, Buhari gives an order and the Defence Minister would go and say a different thing. That means Buhari is not the Commander-in-Chief. So, I totally agree with them that he should resign because he is no more in control. If he is in control, these things will not be happening.
“I remember I was a student in the USA and there was something that happened in the North and Buhari was the GOC then and he stopped that trouble from escalating even though it was a religious issue then. But since he came in as President, he has come with a different agenda. That is why I am saying that he is not doing anything other than working for the herdsmen.
Now, they are bringing herdsmen from other African countries into Nigeria. Fulani in Nigeria are just about three million but now, he is bringing them from elsewhere to come so that they will capture the land. And openly they said that Nigeria belongs to them.
“The Miyetti Allah Secretary stays in Abuja and he says they are free to stay anywhere in Nigeria because Nigeria belongs to them and that the British people handed over Nigeria to them and if you’re not from there, how will you be happy with such statement? And Buhari doesn’t say anything. The Fulani are seen with AK47 yet they are not arrested. Northern governors should emulate what the Southern governors have done for Nigeria to survive. The ban on open grazing by Southern governors and their call for dialogue is a true reflection of the feelings of most Nigerians. It’s not based on ethnicity, religion or tribe.
“In Yoruba land, you have Muslims and Christians even from the same family, yet you hardly hear them fight each other on the basis of that. The Southern Governors have taken their decision because that’s what their people want. Ban on open grazing has come to stay. We want a balanced federation where people govern themselves. Conflicts can only be resolved through dialogue and not through guns. Through dialogue, we can proffer solutions. I was surprised to hear the Senate President saying that what the Southern governors have done is wrong. The governors are speaking the minds of their people just like Governor Samuel Ortom,” he said.
