1:51Now PlayingGovernor Tanko Al-makura of Nasarawa State in north-central Nigeria has debunked claims that part of Agatu land has been ceded to Fulanis.
Agatu people in Benue State had alleged that Mr Al-makura and the Governor of Benue State, Mr Samuel Ortom, facilitated the ceding.
They also claimed that both governors created grazing routes and ranches during their visit to the area to broker peace between farmers and Fulani herdsmen that have had years of disagreements.
Unpatriotic Allegations
He explained that what they did was to ensure that the both parties reconciled their differences without giving favour to one side at the expense of the other.
While clearing the air on the issue, he described the allegations as unpatriotic and mischievous, saying their efforts were misconstrued.
He noted that in the agreement reached which the governors, the leaders of Agatu and Fulanis signed, it was indicated that all parties had agreed to live in peace.
