BENIN—SENATE Committee Chairman on Appropriation and representative of Edo South senatorial zone in the National Assembly, Senator Matthew Urhoghide has said that the executive bill before the National Assembly which mandates states to provide land for cattle ranching has died a natural death.

He disclosed that apart from members of the main opposition party who opposed the bill, parliamentarians from the All Progressives Congress, APC also lobbied that the bill be killed.

Senator Urhoghide, who spoke to Vanguard in Benin City, Edo State, yesterday said: “Nobody can cede any land to anybody in this country because the problem in Plateau State where over 200 people were killed and others displaced was because the original owners of land gave their land to the herdsmen to settle. We are seeing the same problem here in Edo State


“If we make the same mistake of ceding our land for cattle grazing, we are certainly going to regret it. But what the Federal Government has done was to look for weak states and for desperate governors to choose their states as pilot states for this project. God forbid, Edo State cannot accept it because we have been victims of the herdsm


Let me tell you, those killing people, destroying farmlands and raping our women are not really herdsmen. They are people who want to take people’s land and destroy Nigeria.” He warned that any attempt by anyone to cede an inch of Edo land for cattle grazing will be resisted by the people, adding “Edo State cannot afford to have a replay of what is happening in Plateau and other states in the country.” He lamented that although the country was not at war, it had lost thousands of people to the senseless killings.

APC Bleep up for dis kind mumu bill

Buhari is on his own but still doesn't know ...hours before the 2019 election it will dawn on him he has been on his own all along

APC should just die and leave Nigeria in peace.

APC is associated pastural criminals

Illiterate Buhari couldn't scheme to bring goodies to Nigeria as a whole, all he mastered was how to kill and impoverish fellow Nigerians who are not Fulani.



Kano and State and Sambisa are enough landmass for whatever project one wants to establish, i wonder why they have refused to use there and if the herders and their cows must move from one point to another to survive, kano to sambisa and sambisa to kano can equally achieve that for them.

Good development! Bleep Buhari,his killer brothers, jihadist, BH apologists & all the zombies giving support to this evil government.

Good riddance to bad rubbish
Allowing government to rubber stamp ranches against the will of the people is like ceding their lands to fulani terrorist. They have failed

Whoever came up with that idea doesn't deserve a place in a sane society. You mandate a state to provide land for ranching? Very irritating bill.

This government think Nigerians are fools.How can terrorist who are busy killing people be compensated with peoples land?

Thank God for a very 'woke' National Assembly that will not allow itself be intimidated into rubber-stamp status for the machinations of the Executive aka Buhari.

A natural death is inevitable for grassing reserves, cattle colony and land grabbing agenda of the Buhari regime. A natural death also awaits APC after 2019 polls
