The Chairman, Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) and Ekiti state governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has said that there was no eviction order to herdsmen in Ondo State or any part of the South West region.
Fayemi stated this in Akure at a meeting with the national leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN).
He said that Ondo Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, was misconstrued in the media and regretted that the statement generated a lot of hoopla which led to what he described as unfortunate development in Oyo State.
“Akeredolu didn’t talk about herdsmen vacating the state but about registration of herdsmen who want to operate within the reserves,” Fayemi said.
