Professor Itse Sagay, the Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption(PACAC), in an interview with SUN hails governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State for his prompt action in tackling killer herdsmen in the state.
Sagay said "it is a pity that the governors who are the chief security officers of their states are crying instead of organizing their defence against these people" (the herdsmen).
His words, "We have a very successful story with regards to the Boko Haram. It is a pity that the herdsmen who are the new face of terrorism have taken their place. One expects that the Federal Government would now turn around and confront this new terror.
"But I want to say this; it is a pity that the governors who are the chief security officers of their states are crying instead of organizing their defence against these people. Look at Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, he has done a very good job in that place.
"He has virtually arrested the situation and the herdsmen are behaving themselves. What stops other governors from organizing armed defence against these people? They should not leave it for the Federal Government alone and start crying. They should organize themselves. So, that is as far as security is concerned.
