No Grazing Reserve Commission Bill in Senate — Abaribe


Abia State senator, Eyinnaya Abaribe, has called on the Committee on Rules and Business of the Senate to clarify issues on the existence of a Grazing Reserve Commission bill in the assembly.

Mr. Abaribe made the call at plenary on Thursday under a point of order.

He said he had sought clarification from the clerk of the Senate and confirmed that there was no such bill contrary to reports in the media.

Mr. Abaribe said he had received so many calls on the issue and had been accused by some of his constituents of being an absentee senator when the said the bill was not before the Senate.

“I have gotten more than 1,000 calls and this has to do with something called the Grazing Reserve Commission Bill.

“When I asked where is the information coming from, they said the information is coming from the social media.

“Mr President the last time a Grazing Reserve Commission Bill came to this Senate was in the 7th Senate and was proposed by Sen. (Zainab) Kure who is no longer in the Senate.

“So the reason why I am making this personal explanation is so that my constituents in Abia South will know that there is no such bill called Grazing Reserve Commission Bill before this Senate.

“I have taken time to ask the clerk and every other person to say where is this bill that has passed second reading and they said they also are in confusion, they have never seen such thing,” he said.

The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, who was presiding at the time, noted the observation of the senator.

Mr. Saraki later left for the Code of Conduct Tribunal for continuation of his trial and the Deputy President, Chief Ike Ekwerenmadu, took over proceedings.

The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the online media have been awash with reports that a Grazing Reserve Bill is before the Senate and has passed second reading.

According to the reports, the bill seeks to establish a commission which will take land in any part of Nigeria for use as grazing reserve. (NAN)

Good such a bill was never in the pipeline.

its been confirmed.No such bill exists in the 8th senate

It's so easy to & why do some derive joy from setting Nigerians against one another!

Na wah for "News" without "legs to stand on"!

Thank God.

God forbid that bill even been suggested.

As i have consistently mentioned, the SR team are playing with fire. In the previous administration they were assumed to have been the watchdog and defender of the public and 99% who could not speak for themselves. They were very essential in putting the previous administration on their toes. But flashforward to the current day, and they have turned themselves to the mouthpiece of some certain top shots in the APC. They should retraced their steps now, before it is too late

Senator Abaribe, good that such an infectious disease never existed in the house. And you guys from the SS/SE should not make the mistake of tinkering with such an agreement.

The thought of a Grazing Reserve Bill is the highest insult and disregard any senator can give his constituency. You can already see how polluting ii is from mere speculation. OK, I want to believe so.

thk God! Notin loke dat existed! Is good oo

How many bills are these party-going senators are aware of before they get passed? Abairibe affirmed that the bill was brought in at the 7th senate. So where is it now?

The fact that some senators are oblivious of it does not mean that it doesn't exist in the house. It will be passed even in his absense. If Saraki could emerge in the manner he did, simply means anything can happen.

Why are the three Senators frpm Lagos never in the news even if na waka pass.


It seems they are the morons of the House

Sir, it was a bill in the last Senate and wasn't passed. Automatically, it has expired and can only see the light of day if it's represented. If anyone tells you that he doesn't know when they are about to pass any bill, he is lying.

I personally think that our press should help matters by investigating before they publish. They should stop this issue of A SOURCE somewhere. Imagine the division this lie has provoked even on Nairaland here.

So now we need a source for a source? 419 newspapers!

All I see is people trying to cover their tracks,it is good for them to know that gone are the days that the represented don't know what the representatives are doing.those saying that the bill is not Valid or not in existence should remember what Gov.mimiko said about the issue

Whatever,the bill is dead and I don't think anyone will ever present it to the house ever again.

Chukwudi, since when have the words of our lawmakers become sacrosanct? The ripples of the callousness of, esoecially, the southern senators over the budget can still be seen.

I pray ooo
