The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says he will end the Fulani menace when he wins power in November 2016.

Disagreements between Fulani herdsman and Ghanaian farmers of grazing space has often led to clashes that have claimed lives and property on both sides.

Campaigning in Drobonso in the Sekyere Afram Plains constituency of in the Ashanti Region on Saturday, Nana Addo outlined plans to resolve the crisis once and for all if he wins power in November.

He told residents of the Sekyere Afram Plains  who are also affected by the activities of Fulani herdsmen that he has a plan to resolve the crisis.

According to him, Brazil has a cattle population of about 213 million, but does not face the type of problems Ghanaians face, adding that he would replicate the Brazil success story in Ghana.

“Brazil has put in place policies and measures to ensure that the animals are ranched and therefore do not ‘mingle’ with the human populace. These are the kinds of policies we will put in place if we win the election to ensure this Fulani menace is curbed, once and for all,” he said.
