The former Lagos State governor in a statement he personally signed and distributed to the media amongst other suggestion suggested the following:
“Based on these strategic observations, I recommend the federal government convene a meeting of state governors, senior security officials, herder and farmer representatives, along with traditional rulers and religious leaders.
“The purpose of this meeting would be to hammer out a set of working principles to resolve the crisis.
“After this meeting, governors of each state should convene follow-up meetings in their states to refine and add flesh to the universal principles by adjusting them to the particular circumstances of their states.
“In addition to religious and traditional leaders and local farmer and herder representatives, these meetings shall include the state’s best security minds along with experts in agriculture (livestock and farming), land use and water management to draw specific plans for their states.”
The leader who has been lambasted by some of his Yoruba kins for not speaking up said the Federal Government should immediately convene a meeting between state governors, security operatives, herdsmen, farmers, and traditional rulers over the lingering crisis.
