The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has blamed the continuous killing of innocent souls across the country, particularly in Benue State, on the attitude of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the president had not shown any seriousness in stopping the killings.
He said the president should act fast to save the country.
Fayose was reacting to the killing of about seven Fulani in Gboko, Benue State on Wednesday.
Writing on his twitter handle, he said: “Killing seven innocent Fulanis in Gboko, Benue State is condemnable. President Buhari’s nonchalant attitude towards addressing the killings in Benue and other states by herdsmen is dangerous to the peaceful co-existence of Nigerians.
