Controversial businessman and politician, Adamu Garba says though a Fulani man, he does not support cows roaming the streets in 2021.
Garba, who hit the limelight during the #EndSARS protests for suing Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, stated this in a Twitter thread on Sunday while weighing in on the trending Yoruba-Fulani clashes in Oyo State.
Garba blamed the incessant clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers across the country on the open grazing of cattle, which he said has become outdated.
However, he called on the government to be proactive in tackling the situation to achieve lasting peace.
Garba wrote, “I’m a Fulani man, but I can tell you that it doesn’t make sense for cows to be roaming the streets in 2021.
“Cows should be ranched on a land acquired or rented by the ranchers.
“By law, land can only be used through rent or purchase. Government should step forward and clear this out.

“This must be avoided AT ALL COST.”
