Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has blasted the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali over his comments on the Fulani herdsmen crisis in Benue state.
Reports have it that the minister blamed the clashes on the anti-grazing law passed by the Benue state government.
Wike, in his reaction, said that Dan-Ali displayed a high levl of insensitivity.
The Governor also said “So far, there is no indication that the state government is planning to create grazing routes or cattle colonies in the state.
“The statement by the minister only smacks of insensitivity on his (minister’s ) part.
“Assuming that grazing routes were blocked, should killing become the next action?
“We are not in a jungle, we are a society of enlightened people. If there is a problem, people should come together and find a solution to it and not take up arms and kill innocent people,”
