President Muhammadu Buhari criticised over the spate of killings in parts of the country
Former Jigawa state governor Sule Lamido has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of being responsible for the incessant killings resulting from farmers-herders clashes in Nigeria..
Lamido, like Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress, is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Speaking to reporters in Jalingo, the Taraba state capital, on Monday, the 2019 presidential hopeful also alleged that Buhari had earlier claimed that he was aware of the people who were carrying out the killings.

“Let me tell you that there is nothing like farmers-herders crisis. These are people killing other people,” he said.
“And the president had come out to say that he knew the people who were behind the killing but has failed to bring them to book.
“He also stated that such crisis could not have continued unless the government was behind it. Three years into his government, these killings have continued to worsen it means he is behind it. More so that he says he knows them.”
