Describing his principal as “the man who saw tomorrow”, the aide commended the governor for his foresight in handling the affairs of non-indigenes of the state.
His words, “Our governor can be called ‘the man who saw tomorrow’.
“Before this problem of herdsmen began, Governor Obiano had constituted a committee on the cattle menace.
“The committee is headed by the Commissioner of Police in the state. I’m a member of that committee.
“And at various times, this committee had handled and settled disputes between host communities and herdsmen in the state.
“On one occasion the governor paid compensation for over 70 cows to herdsmen, while host communities whose crops were destroyed were compensated by the state governor.”
Haruna enjoined Muslims not to indulge in any form of killing but to maintain the holiness of the Ramadan season.
