RUGA: What Will Happen To Governors, Warns Buhari – Gani Adams

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams has said that the Yoruba tribe will not forgive Governors that adopt Ruga settlement, the Nigerian Tribune reports.

Adams likened the federal government’s plan for Ruga settlement to an “Afonja scenario”, saying the scheme will only contribute to more damage to the country.

“Yoruba people had never wanted Ruga. It is unwarranted, needless and a dangerous policy. It is a policy that can break this nation, just as it has overheated the polity.

“The governor who does that would put himself in problem. It would not even be a four-year or eight-year problem; it would be an everlasting problem. And given the tension this issue generated, the Yoruba, especially, won’t forgive such a governor for life.

“Do you know the Yoruba? We haven’t forgiven those who betrayed us in the 60s. We haven’t forgiven those who betrayed Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the 60s. We haven’t forgiven those who betrayed us in the cause of June 12,” the Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC) leader said.

Adams also condemned the federal government’s alleged proposal of N100billion for Miyetti Allah.

According to him, the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is supporting a wrong plan.

“From the beginning, you would see the way the Federal Government had been making steps. They wanted to give The Miyetti Allah N100billion; the people rose against it and they stopped it.

“Now, the issue of giving them communities, spending billions of naira on those locations, making them modern communities is the least. Why?

“We have our farmers in Yorubaland. Even from the bogus budget of the Ministry of Agriculture, they were not giving loans as similar packages. They were discouraging our farmers and running their agricultural system in their area.

“Now, even concerning private initiative, many people want to be involved in agriculture; they want to spend their money, but are afraid that if they go to farm, they (kidnappers) would kidnap them. The way this thing is going, within a period of time, there would be shortage of food. There would be famine in Nigeria,” Adams added.
