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.

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday stirred the political atmosphere in Ikere Ekiti as he openly declared that Governor Biodun Oyebanji has already secured victory in the coming elections, with or without fresh defections into the ruling party. Fayose spoke at the defection event of Engr. Henrich Akomolafe in Ikere Ekiti, where political leaders and stakeholders gathered in a show of unity. Addressing the Governor directly, Fayose said: “Your Excellency, anybody who wants to join this party to genuinely support you is welcome.

December 21, 2025  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has put to rest lingering beerpalour speculations around the Ekiti State governorship ticket as he openly affirmed that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for a second term. The affirmation came on Saturday in a birthday message issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, as Governor Oyebanji marked his 58th birthday.
