Bala Mohammed Is An Anarchist – Akeredolu

Governor Bala Mohammed is an anarchist unfit to hold the office of governor for his claim that Fulani herdsmen were entitled to carry arms to defend themselves against rustlers.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State made the declaration on Saturday in response to

His dismissal of Bala Mohammed also followed a similar rebuke from Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State who similarly chastised the Bauchi governor.

Akeredolu who is also chairman of the South West Governors Forum while speaking with Vanguard on the issue said that Mohammed’s prescription will lead to anarchy.

Speaking through his information and Orientation commissioner, Donald Ojogo, he said:

“We read with dismay, the outburst in the purported statement by the Bauch State Governor. We are persuaded to believe he didn’t make that statement.

“If indeed he made that statement and owns up to its contents, it then means that the Bauchi state governor has declared on behalf of the Federal Government, an Executive Order which now allows all Nigerians, herdsmen inclusive, to carry prohibited firearms like Assault Rifles for self-defence.”

Before going to describe Bala Mohammed as an anarchist unfit to hold the office of governor, he said:

“That is exactly what the Governor has done and displayed by his conduct which brazenly depicts that whether other Nigerians like it or not, herdsmen must carry Ak 47 for self defence while other non Fulani herdsmen must remain unarmed to be perpetual victims of arms wielding bandits.

“By that statement, the governor has in one breath, agreed that indeed Fulani herdsmen carry AK 47 and at the same time encouraging all to do likewise.

“The Bauchi governor has by his conduct and attitude, ushered us into the next level on the path to anarchy.

“He’s not fit for public office persons of such impecunious disposition and character is not fit for public office.

“As long as Nigeria’s Consideration remains unchanged, it is still unlawful for any unauthorised persons to carry prohibited arms.

“The statement is most despicable, highly recommended for the dust bin of careless talks.”
