President Muhammadu Buhari has told state governors complaining of herdsmen attacks in their states to “sort themselves out”.
Buhari, who said this in an exclusive interview with Arise TV aired on Thursday morning, charged the governors to find a lasting solution to the farmers/herders crisis.
While answering a question on state policing, the president mentioned that two South-West governors visited him to complain about herdsmen encroaching on farmers’ lands in their regions.
He said, “You know these people more than I do, and you are democratically elected to protect your people. Don’t sit idly expecting me to do everything, take action.
”They just can’t go round and win election and then sit tight and think someone will do their job for them. So i just sent them them.”
