Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has reacted to reported plans by Buhari government to suspend implementation of anti-open grazing law in states.
The Federal Government is considering the suspension of anti-open grazing law passed by the some states over incessant killings.
This was part of the discussion at the security council meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday with all the service chiefs in attendance.
The anti-grazing law is already operational in Benue, Ekiti and Taraba states. In Ekiti State, the law, signed by Governor Ayo Fayose in 2016 prohibits open-grazing between 6pm and 7am.
Reacting, Fayose criticised Buhari, questioning why the government is holding on to nomadic cattle rearing, and vowing that the anti-open grazing law stays in Ekiti.
He urged Buhari to provide a decent life for herdsmen by adopting cattle ranching.
“January this year, the Minister of Defense blamed passage of anti-grazing law in some states as the cause of killings by herdsmen. Today, he is still singing the same song. Is there something to this old system of nomadic cattle rearing that they are not telling Nigerians?
“Why is Buhari not rearing his cows through open grazing? Why is it so difficult for the FG to support cattle ranching?
“Here in Ekiti, the Anti Open Grazing law stays. It is the Presidency that should stop looking the other way while herdsmen go about killing Nigerians.
“Methinks the Presidency should be concerned about how to take the herdsmen out of the bush and give them decent life by embracing cattle ranching.
“How can anyone be pleased subjecting his own people to a life of following cows through the bush from Yobe to Lagos?
“And our President will open his mouth today and say that Nigeria is safe and secure? I doubt if the President reads newspapers,” Fayose tweeted.

Ok

Ishokomole 1 of Nigeria. Ride on

HAVE IT AT THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THAT THOSE CALLING FOR SUSPENSION OF ANTI OPEN GRAZING LAW IN STATES ARE THE SPONSORS OF THE GENOCIDE CURRENTLY GOING ON AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA THROUGH FULANI HERDSMEN!
Take a moment and reflect on the post below:

saaron:
If Bornu, Kano, Zamfara, Sokoto state governments can destroy people's personal businesses based on "SHARIA LAW", then Benue, Ekiti and other states have EVERY RIGHT TO IMPLEMENT THE BAN ON OPEN GRAZING BASE ON "ANTI OPEN GRAZING LAW!"

All victims who lost loved ones to fulani herdsmen attack must organize themselves and drag Buhari to ICC in 2019! He must pay for the genocide against Christians in middle belt.

Fayose!!! always a thorn in Buhari's flesh

All i have to say is......
Every wrong move will always cost you something either time, money, ideas, resources, relationship, trust, or even innocent lives.

The wrong move Nigerians made in 2015, i believe we're counting the cost right now.

How can anyone be pleased subjecting his own people to a life of following cows through the bush from Yobe to Lagos?

Only a wicked and animalistic leader does that

Buhari read newspaper?? Una wan kill am abi?

The anti grazing law reflects the true wishes of the people.

This statement is a proof that there are some top elites who approve of the barbaric killings carried out by fulani herdsmen.

Sai baba the Foolhari

If I tell u I pity Benue people and their neighbours,call me an idiot
If I tell u I pity Dino Melaye,Saraki,Rochas and their likes including more to join the list before 2019,call me a great fool.
If I tell u i pity Nigeria and some wailers of recent,call me a BASTARD!!!


U don't need any explanation.U already know why.

With one mouth they claim the herdsmen are not Nigerians. but when asked to fight them as a country fights her enemies, they say the communities should learn to live in peace with their neighbors.

Then the group makes threats on live TV and carry out their threats, but when the fg is asked to apprehend these bold terrorists, they say they're not terrorist but just criminals. OK they are criminals, we agree, arrest them and prosecute them, but no, they say the state that made the law to protect it's citizens should remove that law.

They have also tried to snatch lands and gift to the foreign criminals. And also create routes for them to. carry out their rampage. But it did not work. And the man is only waiting till his second tenure to do it by force.

Nigeria, thou art doomed.
