Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari has said while the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a terrorist organization, fulani herdsmen cannot be defined as such.
He said this in an interview with Channels TV’s “Sunrise Daily.”
He was asked why IPOB was speedily dealt with, while the herdsmen who have been killing farmers across the country have not been declared a terrorist organization.
Garba Shehu said the activities of IPOB were within the terrority of what a terrorist organization is, while the herdsmen are merely a criminal gang.
Watch the video below:
Nigeria has no hope because of this kind of mindset. Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen can rape, bomb and pillage with impunity and murder entire villages for decades but they are only criminals. This is why Nigeria, as it is, cannot continue. The damage Buhari’s administration is doing in on such a grand scale, I don’t know what will save us.
Welcome to Nigeria. These are the so-called elite. It is even hard calling him a true moslem. In the quran does Allah categorize types of rogues? Is death not death irrespective of the supposed rationale for it?
ehhhhnnn garba for your mind, chai we need total cleansing of our dear country. who do us dis kan thing, ewooooooooo one chance no good at all
Your comment made me laugh, thanks
Dunderhead!
I’m beginning to wonder if “Nigeria” would have being better than where “she” is today ,even better than the likes of “Ghana” in some areas if independence wasn’t achieved early.
God bless Nigeria
All i ask for is Wale Vintage, Ganny Olusakin, Ada nnwei et al take on this.
the problem is not about the time of independence. the problem is the nigerian people. curruption has bn made normal and the people constantly vote based on tribal lines even if they are going through hell. ghanaians are now enjoying free high school education, constant electricity, national health insurance which works etc. they got these things by holding their leaders accountable and voting massively against currupt governments. nigerians on the other hand will complain and complain and still vote for people like the man above. so no. dont expect anything new from these recycled politicians
If mass murder, rape and burning down villages doesn’t make you a terrorist, then nothing ever will. Buhari has to go, I have never seen this level of audacious nepotism in my life.
Well. I’d never expected any reasonable talk from Mr Garba Shehu
Bloody illiterate.
Tomorrow, black african monkeys will be trying / claming to be equal to white people….how I wish africa as a whole is still colonised..tufiawa..hypocrisy and wickedness everywhere
You dont realise that part of the problem is that too many people have lost their minds bcos of those white people. The path to recovery isnt in sight for these ones. You my dear seem to be at the top of all those who have lost their minds with this ur monkey reference n slave mentality
So the foolani herdsmen that have been destroying, killing, raping are mere criminal gangs?! A case of selective moral here shehu, don’t you think so?
There’s something fundamentally wrong with Nigeria, not until we address this, can Nigeria ever make progress..
And yet, we scream one Nigeria? Oh, by the way, the Fulani herdsmen have dealt their mayhem across the board. Yoruba, ibo, middle-belt, northern non muslims as well have experienced their terror.
My people, wait small. Let us understand first to gain wisdom in applying the knowledge of what we know. In this case, we should consult the definitions of terrorism/terrorist and crime/criminal to put into perspective what this man has said before we comment
He that watches over Israel neither sleeps nor slumber,its all about His timing
The rest of Nigeria has emboldened you to talk down on them. The insult is to the collective not to Ndigbo who in fact will never allow you peace in Nigeria until justice is attained or everyone answers his father’s name
As expected Wale vintage, Ganny Ogunsakin, Lola, Ada nnewi aka lauretta onochie and that fake agu are on the run… ????????????? ???
Ada nnewi is a coward; knew that long time ago .
Fulani Herds men go around killing other ethnic and religious groups in their lands. A separate group called Biafra is having a peaceful gathering saying they want to be away from Boko Haram and Fulani herd men. Please help me ask Garba which of the above described group is a terrorist? Daft hausa man.
That’s how illiterates like garba talk. And we wonder how Nigeria will progress. It is well
