Buhari Should Ask Trump For Assistance Against Herdsmen – Ijaw Youths

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to seek the assistance of the United States in tackling herdsmen in Nigeria.

The group made the call in an open letter by its President and Secretary, Eric Omare and Henry Iyalah.

IYC also stated that if the federal government failed to deal with the herdsmen menace there might be a breakdown of law and order in the country.

The group said: “We urge Mr. President to use your foreign trips, including your trip to the United States, to seek support to stop the menace of herdsmen’s persistent killings and ensure free, fair and credible elections and not support to win election for yourself.

“The interest of the generality of Nigerians should be uppermost in your mind over and above your personal ambition to win re-election as President, in the interest of peace and security of our country, Nigeria. We also hope that you will not tell President Donald Trump that Nigerian youths are lazy.”
