Former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Professor Chidi Odinkalu has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari over herdsmen killings across the country.
Speaking on Gatefield TV, he condemned the narrow-minded and sectional handling of the murders and warned him to stop behaving like president of the Fulani.
Odinkalu lamented the sectional argument by some people that the Fulanis were also killed in Numan, Adamawa state as inhuman and baseless.
He said: “Every Nigerian is president Buhari’s person. Once a president gets involved or gets caught in the perception of being involved in that kind of mindset, his authority is destroyed.
“He cannot afford to be put in the position of being portrayed as your people my people. Every Nigerian whether you are 97 per cent or 5 per cent to use his words, you are President Buhari’s person.
“So what happens to you should bother him and according to our constitution, the protection of the people is the responsbility of the President and as far as I am concerned the president as failed in that primary responsibility.”
Okinkalu further criticized the Federal Government’s treatment of El-Zakzaky and the shiites in Nigeria and accused them of siding with the Saudi Arabian Wahabbi Sunni government.
