The Governor of the State of Osun, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola, has commended the people of Iba in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the State on the exemplary way they have coexisted peacefully with the cattle traders of Fulani extraction in the community.
He gave the commendation when he paid a solidarity visit to the area, following the tragic lighting that struck in the town on Friday, killing 19 cows in the process.
Represented by his Special Adviser on Agriculture and Food Security, Abiodun Ajisefini, the governor said: “We are indeed sad about the unfortunate incident.
“Lightning is a natural phenomenon that we have no power or control over. The traders who suffered this loss are part of us, not strangers. They have lived here for decades and I commend them for their exemplary contributions to peace in Iba community.
“I want to assure them of my support and indeed government’s support at a time like this.”
