The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), said he sent back two sitting governors who visited him in Aso Villa to complain about the frequent clashes between herders and farmers within their individual domains.

He stated this in an interview aired on Channels Television on Wednesday night monitored by The PUNCH.

Buhari said he sent the two governors back to their states to meet with their traditional leaders.

According to the President, herders and farmers had been co-existing for decades without rancour or conflict. So, he sent the governors back to go ask the local leaders in their communities what went wrong and what caused the breakdown in communication between the herders and the farmers.
