The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has said that in the light of the unfolding scenario set by the ratification of a regime of laws that potentially seek to limit the free movement of herders in the 17 Southern Nigerian states, the Federal Government should take immediate steps to evacuate all herdsmen currently in the South back home.<\/p>\n

In a statement by CNG\u2019s Spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, the coalition said a study has shown that at present, only ten per cent of the Fulani herdsmen live and conduct business in the entire South.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cWith the incessant show of animosity against the pastoral communities by the people of the South and their leaders, it has become a matter of urgent necessity for the federal government of Nigeria to take steps to evacuate the remaining ten per cent of herders currently in the South back home.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cWith the onset of the fresh systematic vilification of the herdsmen at the official level, it is important to evacuate them peacefully since apparently their security could not be guaranteed in their host communities in the southern part of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201d A study has shown that with all the overhyped hatred for the pastoral communities by the South and their leaders, only ten per cent of herders live in the entire South which can conveniently be accommodated in the North,\u201d Suleiman said.<\/p>\n

CNG also told northern governors to commence preparation to receive the returning Fulani communities and their livestock assets by identifying suitable grazing lands for them and making sufficient allowance for farmers at the same time.<\/p>\n

The Group warned that the nation would be treading dangerous grounds if it continued to tolerate the demonisation of entire groups over particular types of crimes which the Asaba Declaration by the 17 southern governors seeks to do.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cWe call on President Muhammadu Buhari and state governors to act now to protect law-abiding members of Fulani communities from a falling trap set by the aggressive policy of the southern governors who apparently believe that Fulani has no rights in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
