Ejiofor Alike writes that since the demise of former Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who had mobilised southern governors to enact the Anti-Open Grazing Laws in their states, most of the current governors have demonstrated sheer incompetence and lack of political will to implement these laws, leading to the invasion of their states by foreign mercenaries who are masquerading as herdsmen
Former governor of Ondo State, the late Rotimi Akeredolu will continue to be remembered for the political will he demonstrated in challenging the Muhammadu Buhari administration’s silence on foreign herdsmen that were invading communities across Nigeria.
Akeredolu, as the Chairman of Southern Governors’ Forum, displayed uncommon courage in tackling both the Buhari presidency and the invaders.
