Reno Omokri, the personal media aide to former president Jonathan, has kicked against the position of the Nigeria presidency and Northern Elders Forum (NEF) on the quit notice order given to Fulani herdsmen by Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.
The Nigeria presidency, through Garba Shehu, and NEF have collectively condemned Akeredolu's quit notice order for Fulani herdsmen to vacate the state's forest reserves, while insisting that the herdsmen won't obey the order because they are legitimate citizens and have right to live and do business anywhere in the country.
Adverting to the order that prohibit the Igbos to sell alcoholic drinks in Kano, Christians to rear pigs in Sokoto and, night clubbing in Kaduna, Reno has stepped forward to question the equality of Nigerians.
Reno also said Nigeria should divide if there is no equality.
"Igbo men go to Kano, rent or build shops, yet Kano doesn’t allow them sell alcohol. But herdsmen come from within and outside Nigeria, take over Ondo forests, without paying rent, and the Ondo government can’t regulate them? If there is no equality perhaps we go our separate ways.
"You can’t stop Igbos from selling alcohol in Kano, and ban Christians from rearing pork in Zamfara, but insist that herdsmen can take over Ondo forests, as if it is conquered territory. In case you did not receive the memo, the Usman Dan Fodio jihad ended in 1804. This is 2021.
"If @elrufai can demolish the alleged Kaduna Sex Party hotel and @MBuhari and @GarShehu kept quiet, they should also keep quiet while Ondo regulates unregistered herdsmen in her forests. At least @RotimiAkeredolu is not demolishing the forest. Is Elrufai more equal than Akeredolu?
"When Kano Hisbah destroyed beer parlours/hotels owned by Igbos, neither #Buhari, nor @GarShehu, nor Northern Elders Forum talked. But when @RotimiAkeredolu asks unregistered herdsmen to leave Ondo forests, they all shouted. Is this a government for all Nigerians or just herdsmen
"Northern Elders Forum is threatening Nigeria’s unity by asking herdsmen in Ondo state to ignore lawful directives given to them by the Ondo state Governor, Akeredolu. The FG and NEF should also expect Southern beer sellers to ignore Kano’s restrictions on their operations
"Instead of asking herdsmen in Ondo to ignore the lawful order from Governor Akeredolu, the Northern Elders Forum are counselled to ask their kith and kin to obey the laws of Ondo, just as they expect Southerners to obey the Hisbah in Kano. We either have equality or division
The best selling author, Reno however adviced Southwest states to research what happened in Lebanon, owing to the fact that if they don't stop the Fulani terrorist herdsmen from their forest reserves, history will repeat in Yoruba land.
"Ondo and other SW states should research what happened in Lebanon. Lebanon was taken over from the Lebanese and they became a minority in their own nation. If Governor @RotimiAkeredolu’s order can be flouted by Presidency backed herdsmen, then Akeredolu is a Governor in name only
"Observe the very choreographed coordination amongst @NGRPresident, Northern Elders Forum and herdsmen. This speaks volumes. This raises strong suspicions that just as North Sudan used the Janjaweed against the South, some Nigerians may be using herdsmen against other Nigerians
"Bridget Agbahime was beheaded in Kano in 2016, the @NGRPresident said NOTHING. Beer parlours were destroyed in Kano, @GarShehu said nothing. @elrufai demolished the alleged Kaduna Sex Party hotel. NOTHING. But when Ondo asks unregistered herdsmen to vacate Ondo forests they SHOUT
"Where there is injustice, there can NEVER be unity. Justice left Nigeria in 2015. If Kano can regulate alcohol sales, then Ondo must regulate unregistered herdsmen living in forests. Nobody (herdsmen or other Nigerians) should occupy a forest as if it is their father’s property
"Buhari is emotionally attached to herdsmen. He will never protect Nigerians from them. If they kill you, the highest he will do is express shock. Shock cant bring you back to life.@RotimiAkeredolu must insist on regulating them just as Kano regulates alcohol! Equality or division
