He plans to embark on a tour of south-west states of Nigeria to flush out ”killer” herders in the region.
On Wednesday, the youth leader during a virtual town hall meeting, said he needs buses to “transport people” for his south-west tour.
“I need buses to transport people. The three vans we use are bought by me. We lost three buses that were hired on our way to Oyo,” Igboho said during the virtual town hall meeting.
