“A lot of Nigerians are totally dissatisfied with the level of governance in the country particularly the youths.

“It is clear now that the mainstream political parties are nt going to solve the problems confronting the country.”

Falana was actually responding to the menace of herdsmen in the country. He maintained that Nigeria could take a cue from Botswana where trackers are placed in every cattle in that country to monitor their movements.

Falana also took a swipe at successive governments in the country which had failed to address the issue of herdsmen, farmers clashes in the past. He said had past administrations put relevant institutions in place, there would not even be any need for anti-open grazing law in the first place.

Speaking on the political future of the country, Falana said “Nigerians are not going to vote for people that will make promises.  The change we need is change for fundamental solutions to the problems.”
