RABIU KWANKWASO CHIDES YORUBA LEADERS ON SECESSION TALK, ARGUES THAT FULANI HERDSMEN NEED EDUCATION

Ex Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso expresses displeasure in the way some Yoruba leaders are handling the aftermath of Chief Olu Falae kidnap.

He urged that instead of instigating division in the country by unguided statements, they should focus on finding ways to educate Hausa/Fulani herdsmen. He argued that no ethic group in the country is an island. Furthermore, he stated that underdevelopment is the major cause of the herdsmen nomadic life, since developed economies have more advanced technologies to curtail this menace, because they do not subscribe to the present archaic way of rearing cattles in the country. He advocated compulsory education for all Fulanis.

He addressed this issue at the just concluded Silver Jubilee of the set of 1965-1971 of Government College Ibadan. Other dignitaries in attendance were Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo Stat represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Group Managing Director of Vitafoam, Mr Taiwo Adeniyi, National President of GCI Old Boys' Association, Chief Abiodun Jolaoso, Principal of GCI, Rev. Oladele Olusola amongst others.
