Ondo South Senatorial District representative at the National Assembly, Sen. Nicholas Tofowomo, says there is need for the Ondo Government to make a law for genuine herders and farmers to register with the state government.
Tofowom, in a statement signed by his media Aide, Olumide Akinrinlola, on Saturday said that the move would separate genuine businessmen from criminals in the forest.
“I congratulate Akeredolu for taking a bold step against criminal activities in the state and I join my voice with all the positive and good people in support of the decision.
“While declaring my total support for the decision, I urge him to take a step further to make it a law to ensure the registration of herdsmen and farmers who are into genuine businesses.
“The State House of Assembly should package a law to put an end to banditry and kidnapping being orchestrated by the bad eggs among whom are hiding under the guise of herdsmen.
