Lawmakers in Nigeria’s South-south and South-east geo-political zones have opposed the proposed grazing bill of the federal government.



The legislators also urge their counterparts at the National Assembly to kick against the bill, saying it is not in the interest of the nation’s unity.

The opinions were formed when they converged at Owerri, the Imo State capital, south-east Nigeria for the first parliamentary session of South-south and South-east State Assemblies to discuss the issues bothering on the proposed grazing bill as well as issues of militancy and bombings in the Niger Delta.

In his welcome address, the host and Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Acho Ihim, hinted that the South-south and the South-east states have many things in common in the region, not leaving out challenges,stressing the need for the first joint parliamentary session to bid a way forward in addressing their challenges.

Reacting to the grazing reserve proposals and activities of herdsmen in the geo-political zones, a lawmaker from Abia moved a motion on the position of legislators in both region.

After much deliberations and contributions, the legislators opposed the grazing bill, urging all Assemblies in the region to pass bills restricting cattle rearing and prohibit grazing of cattle from one location to another.

They insisted that the proposed bill to establish and control grazing routes and reserves should be rejected.

After the session, some of the lawmakers hinted that the theme of their gathering would go a long way to unite the South-south and South-east zones, as well as Nigeria in general.

In attendance were the Speakers from Ebonyi, Delta, Cross River, Imo, Edo, Bayelsa, and Abia states while Deputy Speakers from Akwa Ibom, Anambra and Enugu states represented their speaker amidst a large number of legislators from the the two zones.

They're powerless to oppose.

The same bills Yorubas have been opposing while una keep mute?

Enugu can't escape the bill though. The state belongs to Fulanis.

I hope our southwest lawmakers emulates this laudable move by fellow lawmakers from the SE / SS.

It is high time the south speaks with one voice on burning national issues. The era of divide and rule amongst southerners should no longer be allowed.

Afonjas will not like this.

The whole south must unite against this avoideable inpending doom, despite our religious differences, the same thing applicable those in the middle belt axis.
The yoruba muslims must unite with christains.
UNITED WE STAND.

Just like ilorin has been annexed by the fulani and their emir installed till tomorrow.

There is no emir anywhere on Igbo soil but the sons of ustman danfodio have forced the Yorubas to start answering saeed, taofeek, sukuratu, lolz.


BTW, ogogoro drinking militants are already taking over ikorodu . Lolz.

it a slow gradual process , but one thing is certain that surely and truly truly truly the bonding will be inevitable.kudos

This is a good start. I am so happy for the unity.

Afonja still wallow in a pool of Slave and master loyalty complex.

they need to buckle up, the Nigeria Bosnians tribe are never prepared for any tin.

And wat about the south west lawmakers? Abi wherey ni won ni

I would like to believe u Av been misinformed...

Everyone should reject it wholeheartedly



Buy a piece of land and establish a ranch

I do hope their opposition is apolitical. There is a need for a log standing solution to this problem, if it is not grazing bill it can be a new ranching policy. Solution must sha come out. It is not a matter of Fulani Herdsmen Violence or anything.

And why are proBIAFRANS happy about this. The issues that excite you guys sometimes frighten me...

I so seconded,..they shouldn't use their private business disturb others,..I think north have enough land for Such activity

Chi efooo

Is this still going on? Honestly, this whole thing is ridiculous!

Imagine an enemy knowing my only secrete exit? Where will I run to again? I am a member of APC, but am not in support of this!!!

SOUTH-WASTE MUSLIMS ARE FULLY IN SUPPORT OF GRAZING RESERVE IN THEIR REGION.

The Buhari led jánjaweed govt is still going ahead with this travesty. Say what you like but we will defend our lands against the Fulani invaders. If herdsmen really need land for their cattle, they should negotiate with individual landlords following laid down rules of doing such business in each state instead of using federal might to arm twist us

No wonder the IBO's call us cowards. SW lawmakers what are u guys doing about the grazing bill.

To emancipate from fulani slavery
