He said: “Nigeria is so insecure today that we no longer talk of killings, but the number killed. We have lost value for human lives. In Nigeria under APC, cows and dogs have more value than human beings."
He added that due to the killings and destruction of crops allegedly perpetrated by herdsmen and the inability of the APC-led-federal government to rise to the occasion, a lot of APC senators have lost interest in the party and are preparing to decamp.
He said: “I can tell you that APC senators are now playing more opposition than their PDP counterparts because they have lost faith in their party.

“They are ashamed of what to tell their constituents during campaign. Is it to tell them that their party brought hunger and allowed killings of innocent Nigerians? No, they are tired of the lies.”
NAIJ.com previously reported that Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi said that the clashes between farmers and herdsmen across the country are not tribal but consequences of climate change.
Bagudu stated this in Birnin Kebbi when the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, paid him a courtesy visit with a team of journalists.
