The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has described the meeting by the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters and former Senator, representing Ekiti Central, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, with members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) as a confirmation that the federal government and All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State were in support of the invasion of the State by Fulani herdsmen.
The party, which expressed worry that Senator Ojudu chose to play politics with the lives and sources of livelihood of Ekiti people, said: “With Ojudu’s display of friendship with members of the Miyette to Allah, despite the threat issued by the association against the government and people of Ekiti State, the State and its people must have seen who their real enemy is.”
State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Jackson Adebayo, said in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday that it was strange that the same Senator Ojudu that kept silent when Fulani herdsmen killed two Ekiti sons and injured several others in Oke Ako in Ikole Local Government was now the one meeting members of Miyetti Allah to pacify them over their alleged killing of their cows.
