On 13th October 2000, grandpa, popularly known as Mr. clean lead the Arewa team to the governor, Lam Adesinas office to confront the state over alleged killings of Fulani cattle rearers in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of the state. The meeting was called to order Immediately Lam walked into the Executive Chambers. Grandpa spoke on their mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire, grandpa accused Lam and the government of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over 68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and perversion of justice. His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to discuss with you and your government our displeasure about the incident of clashes between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers and merchants are today being harassed , attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers were recovered and buried under the supervision and protection from a team of Mobile Police from Oyo State Command. Grandpa further demanded immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and COMPENSATION to the Fulanis. As weighty and indicting as Buhari’s allegations were, Lam remained unperturbed. He fired back with his own well coordinated arsenals. He bluntly told grandpa that the fulanis were the ones killing the natives. Lams word “My appeal will be that effort must be made to unite this country and that will be ïn the best interest of all Nigerians. I am appealing to the Arewa Consultative Forum, under which auspices our distinguished Nigerians are here; in recent times, they have been sending wrong signals to a number of us who believe in the unity and peace of Nigeria; you have been too critical of the efforts of the Federal Government. I am saying this because Nigeria, at this point, cannot afford to break and the words you northern leaders utter are very weighty, at the South here, we normally analyze them critically”. Buhari and his team did not wait for any refreshments. They came in angry and left bewildered. Ok. here are my questions. Who is not aware that Fulani herdsmen butcher the natives of the community they find themselves ? How many times have you heard grandpa calling on his people to stop senseless butcher of the natives? None What other proofs do you need to know that grandpa is not a voice for the Nigerians but a voice for the North? Beware of voting in this sort of man! Remember, this was the same man we practically begged to speak vociferously against boko haram. BEWARE!!! vanguardngr/2012/11/day-lam-adesina-clashed-with-buhari-marwa-others/
