Nigerians have been urged not to hurriedly blame Fulani herdsmen for every attack in some parts of the country, by a member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Buba Galadima.
Galadima made his comments on Monday in an appearance on a Television programme "Sunrise Daily".
The APC Chieftain said it was premature to blame herdsman for the recent attacks in Enugu; and that any miscreant caught causing trouble or committing heinous crime should be called by their names rather than ascribing it to a tribe.
He said, "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."
