A group named Gan Allah Fulani Development Association of Nigeria (GAFDAN) has urged president Muhammadu Buhari led federal government to grant a comprehensive amnesty programme to all the victims of farmers/herders crisis, which has reduced the pastoralists to unwilling and circumstantial criminals as a result of losses of their entire source of livelihood and survival. ” This condition has given birth to restiveness, hopelessness, joblessness, confusion and a state of anomie where nobody knows what is right from wrong. The conference further condemned the involvement of the herdsmen association in the dirty and partisan politics of candidates endorsement as well as outright reckless abuses or condemnation of other candidates. “It is the strong view of this meeting that the need to restructure the country is one of the greatest needs and challenges facing Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria today. “Today the problems of the herdsmen bother on their survival or extinction now more than before”.
