The social media have been on rampage following the comments by the Lagos State All Progressives Congress publicity secretary, Joe Igbokwe.
Igbokwe was reported to have said that the Fulani herdsmen should be given free lands in Nigeria which he described as Cattle Colony in lgbo land.
“Look, people have misunderstood what the Fulani herdsmen are asking for. The herdsmen are only asking for empty lands, bushes, forests or you may choose to call it anything you like.
What they are not asking for is your house. They stay in the bush while you enjoy yourself in the comfort of your house. How would there be a problem?
Allow these men to be…for instance, do you know that one single cattle colony in the South East will solve a lot of problems for the herdsmen,” Igbokwe said.
However, comments from social media followers indicate that the suggestion by Igbokwe holds no bearing.
