All we hear is that herdsmen and farmers are fighting and for that reason, two hundred people are kidnapped. People are shot down there, people are killed there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want the government to do? We must be realistic. I believe in pragmatism. Can anybody come and tell me one, two, three reasons why this APC shouldn\u2019t win in the next election?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I hear is that because of insecurity this, insecurity that.
