A member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Buba Galadima has urged Nigerians not to hurriedly blame Fulani herdsmen for every attacks in some parts of Nigeria.

Galadima also said any miscreant caught causing trouble or committing heinous crime should be called by their names rather than ascribing it to a tribe. 

Speaking on a Television programme “Sunrise Daily” yesterday, he said it is premature to blame herdsmen for the recent attacks in Enugu.

 According to him: “We must build our nation, if miscreants carry out some heinous activities, we should call them by their name and not ascribe it to a tribe.

 “It is common among communities for Fulanis and farmers to have disagreements over grazing, however, they always settle the issues amicably.

 Also, there are always miscreants in every community therefore, not all the cases of alleged herdsmen killings are actually true. Nigerians must know that you can never see anyone rearing over 200 cattles, leaving them to go and attack a village,” he added.
