Just in: Ruga settlements will set Nigeria on fire, says Soyinka
Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has added his voice to the growing opposition against federal government’s proposal to establish Ruga settlements across the nation for herdsmen.
According to him: “Ruga is going to be an explosion if not handled with care. But why do we not take our policies from good models? This is not the way people and countries deal with issues of cattle. “When cattle goes to Ijebu Ode and eat up their plant seedlings and so on and you expect people to be quiet?”He stated the handling of the herdsmen issue by President Muhammadu Buhari was enough to make him lose re-election.
