Jibrin Reveal That Crisis Can Only Be Sorted By Dialogue

Walid Jibrin, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Board of Trustees, on Thursday, stated the efforts that he has been putting together to put an end to the crisis between the herdsmen and farmers in Taraba and Benue States.

He stated that he was planning to meet with the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom and the leadership of Tiv and the Fulani people in the state, in the effort of stopping the crisis.

Jibrin, while speaking with journalists in Abuja, stressed that the crisis can only be resolved through dialogue.

He said, “We the Fulani concerned elders are now trying to bring all these Fulani associations together so that we can talk with one voice.

“Like I earlier did, I went to Taraba State to meet with the governor, the leaders and Fulani elders, and the meeting is yielding results. I intend to go to Benue State to meet the governor, the leadership of Tiv people and the Fulani people to look at the pros and cons of the issues of Fulani herdsmen.

“This can only be solved by dialogue and mediation. We should not be tired of discussing these issues so that the matter will die down and everybody will appreciate one another.

“We, Fulani will also educate our people to understand the Nigeria problem, the problem of rearing and also to find many alternatives and most importantly, to educate our Fulani children so that most of these problems will reduce.“
