Lauretta Onochie, the Special Assistant to President Muhamadu Buhari on Social Media on Monday claimed that no tribe in Nigeria is free of bad elements.
Onochie made the claim while reacting to the current crisis between herders and farmers in the Southwest, particularly Oyo and Ondo States.
In a tweet, she also claimed that an international organization, ombudsman released data showing that Nigeria was safer under Buhari than the previous administration.
According to her: “After restructuring, they moved to Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram. Then an international “ombudsman” organisation, released statistics showing that in spite of security challenges, Nigeria is safer under this government than the previous”.
“If there’s an ethnic or community clash where lives and property are lost, we pick and choose which to attribute to community clash & which to lay on the doorsteps of the Fulanis, President Buhari’s ethnic group in order to satisfy the craving for more bitterness & hatred towards President Buhari.
“There’s no tribe that is free of bad eggs. But criminalizing an ethnic group because you don’t like President Buhari’s face, is nothing short of evil and fishing for trouble.”
“Fulanis who have lived in the area for decades, are made to suffer the consequences of crimes committed by others. Why is this? They are Fulanis, Pres Buhari’s ethnic group.”
