How I wish we understand that the hands of governors are actually tied in respect to HERDS MEN palava. 

I took out painstaking time to do an investigative research and reporting process and found out they are helpless. The governor of Abia was crying out of frustration when his people were attacked and scores killed, because he was helpless, likewise his Bayelsa counterpart who exploded on the insensitivity of the FG to the herds men, violently reported attacks. Suswan of Benue was stoned out, by the youths in Makurdi because they felt he could have protected them. 

But if only they know better like I do now, only a governor who doesn't have another political intention would fight this, the cabals controlling this nation are involved in this, it is alleged by both a seating governor and the incumbent wife of the president, that Buhari is not in control but cabals are, the security of our nation is well in the hands of this Fulani cabals, they just recently insisted that only the national assembly can legislate on the anti-grazing bill, they further alleged that a bill of of such magnitude is above the state assemblies, and hence are insinuating that any law short of proceedings and emanating from the national assembly is invalid and lacks the stamp of a legislative house with competent jurisdiction to entertain such hearing and matters. 

And this is so according to them because it is obvious their interest would be protected and they also feel they have majority stake and vote in the national assembly. So my compatriots, our governors have little or nothing to do on this, as they do not in factual terms control security outfits, it is in the public domain that this are on the exclusive list, which makes only the federal government in charge. 

In this same country the security details of governors are being redrawn from them, just imagine how porous the system can be. Indeed the hands of the governors are tied.
