Buhari couldn’t remember names of south-west governors who visited him on farmers-herders clashes

President Muhammadu Buhari again fumbled for words as his dementia seemed to be worsening when he wanted to recall the names of two governors, who visited him at Aso Rock Villa in Abuja over the farmers-herders clashes in their states.

In an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday monitored by Newsflash Nigeria, Buhari was asked whether he would support state police and regional efforts such as Amotekun and Ebubeagu to stem the tide of clashes and insecurity in the country.

He said, “Well, I told you what we have done. We met at least four times with the service chiefs and other law enforcement agencies – each meeting taking at least four hours. We have discussed thoroughly what to do with the situation.

“So, we discussed what we understand and we try to secure for the leadership at community levels the best intelligence; because you get this from the local leadership. You have to talk to them…the role of the traditional rulers must not be undermined because in their areas, as I said, they know who is who.

“Their families; not to talk of individuals; so we have to revert to that system for us to have effective security in the localities; for example, there were two governors that came to see me, about the problem.

“The governors of ha…ha…ha…ha…Oyo State and the governor of ha…ha… this other state…in Ondo…not Ondo…one other state. I said because the herders were in the forest…let them go and talk to the local leadership about why there is a break in communication. The routes they follow; the forests they confine themselves in.”
