The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has lambasted the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu for “disrespecting” President Muhammadu Buhari.
The organization’s comment followed a statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, on recurring herdsmen-farmers’ crisis in the country.
Shehu had announced that Buhari approved measures to bring an end to the skirmishes long before the ban on open grazing by the Southern Governors Forum.
The aide noted that the governors’ resolutions failed to proffer solutions to the crises, “that have been continuing in our country for generations”.
“Their announcement is of questionable legality, given the constitutional right of all Nigerians to enjoy the same rights and freedoms regardless of the state of their birth or residence”, he wrote.
In a rejoinder through his Special Duties and Strategy assistant, Doyin Odebowale, Akeredolu told Shehu to disclose the real motive(s) of those he serves.
“He can’t continue to hide under some opaque, omnibus, and dubious directives to create confusion in the polity”, it read.
But in a statement signed by BMO Chairman, Niyi Akinsiji and Secretary Cassidy Madueke said the governor’s position was an intemperate, reckless and spiteful outburst against the President.
The group said it was unfortunate that Akeredolu could sign off on a vitriolic press statement by Odebowale that not only calls to question Buhari’s decision but also a disguised attack on Shehu.
