A former Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s perceived support of Fulani herdsmen might be the will of God.
Speaking to Independent, Ezeife said “APC has taken Nigeria from up, where it saw her to the bottom, where it is difficult to know how to come out of it. President Muhammadu Buhari has given confidence to herdsmen and other Islamists, who have invaded country and are presently killing the people, but in the process uniting the rest of Nigeria.

Ezeife said this while accusing Buhari of giving confidence to the herdsmen’s actions and taking Nigeria backwards.
“That can be the will of God. Therefore, we should not just pray but confront some of the issues causing problems for the country as well.
He, however, said Buhari’s action might be the will of God to unite Nigerians and rebrand the country.
“Religious crisis usually arise from human errors and if you put some of these errors into proper perspective without being biased, you will find out that there is nothing to fight for.
“That can be the will of God. Therefore, we should not just pray but confront some of the issues causing problems for the country as well.
Further speaking on the alliance formed by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, with other parties to dethrone Buhari, he said their plans would fail.
“My belief is that anything is possible in 2019. But, what will not be possible is APC or PDP winning the presidential election. Yes, they have political structures, but the question is: Why will Nigerians continue with failure?” He questioned.
