The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, on Monday, criticised Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State over the enactment of a law banning open grazing.

The body said it was not interested in exchanging words, but to see an end to the senseless killing of innocent people.

The National Secretary of MACBAN, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, said this in an interview with The PUNCH in Abuja in response to the accusation by Ortom’s Chief Secretary, Terver Akase, that it was fuelling crises over the law.

But Ngelzarma said the doors of MACBAN “will remain open for constructive discussions to find lasting solutions that will bring to an end all these uncivilised behaviours.”

He said, “We are not interested in the exchange of unnecessary comments that will not do anybody any good. As a responsible association, we want to see an end to this senseless killing of innocent people. We, as an association, respect all constituted authorities and believe in law and order and hold all state governors in high esteem as chief security officers of their states.

“We also believe that the Benue State governor has sworn to protect the lives and economic well-being of all his citizens, irrespective of their socioeconomic/ethno-religious backgrounds.

“The law only ends up suffocating both farmers and herders to make them bankrupt. Ortom, as a deeply religious person, knows very well that one day he will be called to account by the Almighty for how he manages his state during his tenure as governor.

“MACBAN is never in any doubt about the position of governors being the controllers of state security and land and the Houses of Assembly being responsible for making laws. But all we desire is justice, equality and fairness in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities.”

He added, “Our doors will remain open for constructive discussions to find lasting solutions that will bring to an end all this uncivilised behaviours.”

Discussing with murderous? No way. Their days are number

Ortom is busy with something else

Terrorist people.

Officially government-approved Terrorist organization says they are ready for discussion with a sitting governor you've attempted to kill...how many times now?

You guys can go with your cows and leave Benue people alone to leave in Peace.

Satan done finally bow.

Why do they have so much evil affinity with this Ortom grazing ban as if other states has not done the same thing?

No negotiations with terrorist, they should leave peoples land and relocate their business elsewhere.

The number of souls Fulani Terror exporters has wasted doesn't warrant any conversation with anybody. ANTI GRAZING law is final. And lest I forget, the tally of deaths and maiming is being well documented for future use.

After issuing a threat ??

Zombie man

Ok

“MACBAN is never in any doubt about the position of governors being the controllers of state security and land and the Houses of Assembly being responsible for making laws. But all we desire is justice, equality and fairness in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities.”

They had to backpedal from their threat-mongering strategy since the state is impervious to them. Ortom na man you be.

Why is it that you guys don't like good thing

Discuss wetin?

Abide by the rules the governor gave. Simple.

After making mouth, you now want to discuss?

Will discussions bring back the dead?

To have any discussion. First evacuate all lands you have forcefully grabbed.

Pay compensation for the havoc you have caused, then you can now ask for discussion

After killing and displacing his people

No room for discussion on this. Case sealed already.

Ortom won't disappoint

He added, “Our doors will remain open for constructive discussions to find lasting solutions that will bring to an end all this uncivilised behaviours.”

The doors of Terrorists are open for constructive discussions

No open grazing is no open grazing.

What will the open door discuss again

They want to bargain Ruga or continue killing.

2023 is almost here, Fulanis must collect.

Aboki don tire......dem no dey tell person na....

Mumu people,you think you can ginger everybody to be scared of you Simply because you've got federal backing

Una eyes go soon clear finish.

The fact that this matter is even a matter to deliberate on in the first place baffles me! These guys have killed thousands and counting. Rendered people orphans, widows and childless. But the presidency is still talking about grazing route here and there, allocating huge sum of money for it. This cow herding is so important to them than the lives of citizens..

Never seen where a single fulani man was paraded for any of these crimes but small boy waka with IPOB flag, fiam, they arrest him and label him a terrorist. Show him to the world. Tufiakwa to Nigeria. Tufiakwa to this regime. God Bless the lost souls. God bless Nairaland. Good bless

One down more to go

Open for discussion as una tenor don dey complete? Orton should not fall for their deceit oh

After they hav failed to kill him but succeeded in killing a lot of his people. Oh boy, come see entitlement mentality. All I know is this things can't last forever even if they add third term.

Story for the gods.

The devil is finally bowing out

Stop internet fraud....try this it pays ===>
