Northern governors says its an insult, attributing all the recent killings to Fulani herdsmen.

The  19 Northern Governors have defended the Fulani following killings by herdsmen in part of the country
Following their meeting in Kaduna yesterday,chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) and Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, said it was an insult to consider criminals as Fulani.
He said: 
“We want to unequivocally condemn the recent killings in Enugu and other parts of the country. But we equally condemn the politicization or permit me, the ‘ethinicisation’ of the whole crisis,”

“It goes beyond Fulani. If anything happens, they say Fulani herdsmen. To me, it is an insult. Kidnapping in this country originated in the Southeast, were they called Igbo kidnappers? We have a great national challenge and we want to call on all and sundry to come and let us solve our common challenges as a people, because the blood of paternity that binds us together supersedes whatever differences that might divide us.”
He also condemned the Agatu killings and  charged the media to avoid sensationalism and harp on issues that bind the Nigerians together.
