Okowa said, “on the issue of herdsmen menace, it is very unfortunate where we have find ourselves as a nation. It is very unfortunate. We are facing such challenges in Delta State but when we look at it nationally, Delta state is not even among the states that where classified as hotbed of herdsmen menace because there are worst things going on throughout this country that ought not to be.

“In fact the President has call a meeting of all the governors for tomorrow…and the issues we going to discuss is the security situation acroas the nation. It is something we need to find solutions to before it consumes us. It is very unfortunate where we find ourselves today and I hope we will be able to find appropriate solution to it.

And if that is done, we will just try our best to quell it, I’m not saying we are not doing the best we can now but with a very strong statement coming from the presidency, the governors would do their best and I’m sure it will come out of our meeting tomorrow.
