Group carpets Fayemi over support for creation of Fulani Settlements in Ekiti, other States

Group carpets Fayemi over support for creation of Fulani Settlements in Ekiti, other States



The Save The Nation Movement (STNM) has described as sad and worrisome, the reported expression of support for the Federal Government’s decision to establish Grazing Reserves (Fulani Settlements) across the 36 States of the country for the use of Fulani herdsmen by the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.


Fayemi, who is the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) was reported online to have said that if having Grazing Reserves now being called Fulani Settlements in all the 36 States will bring peace to the country, Nigerians, especially his fellow governors should embrace it.


Reacting in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, by its National Secretary, Comrade Stevens Chilaka, the STNM said Governor Fayemi was only living up to his covenant with the Presidency Cabal to establishment of cattle colonies 


The group recalled that during his electioneering campaign in 2018, Fayemi had said that killings by Fulani herdsmen will only stop if lands are provided for the herdsmen as their permanent settlements.


He went further to say that it was better to give lands to Fulani herdsmen and live than for them to be killing people.


Then, the governor dismissed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ekiti State allegation that  he entered into an agreement to create cattle colonies in Orin-Ora, Aramoko, Omuo, Otun, Ise and Erifun in Ado Ekiti.


The Save the Nation Movement described as strange that Fayemi has never seen anything wrong in the killing of Nigerians, particularly Ekiti indigenes by herdsmen. 


It condemned the killing by suspected herdsmen today, of a community leader in Orin-Ekiti, Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Ilori Emmanuel and the silent of Governor Fayemi on killings and kinappings in the State.


The group said governors in the Southern part of Nigeria and the Middlebelt must reject the plot to impose Fulani settlements on the States under the guise of establishing Grazing Reserves.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor. She explained that her decision to step down for Governor Oyebanji was informed by his wide acceptability across the state, sterling performances in office, and commitment to Ekiti’s growth and development, which she described as derivatives of continuity. While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
