I Never Promisted To Give Out Benue Land For Ranching-gov Ortom by PaChukwudi44(m): 8:57am On Jun 21, 2018
The Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom has denied the report that he had agreed to cede a portion of land to the Nigerian government for ranching.

Ortom said he did not at any point during his speech at the media and communications briefing on the National Livestock Transformation Plan which took place in Abuja yesterday state that he would cede any land to the federal government.

Terver Akase, Ortom’s Chief Press Secretary in statement on Wednesday said there was nowhere in the speech that Governor Ortom said Benue would give land for grazing reserves, the proposed FG ranches, cattle colonies or any of the related patterns of animal husbandry contrary to the provisions of the state’s Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.

He maintained that the state had no landmass for cattle routes and open grazing as the available land mass is used for crop cultivation to maintain the food basket status.

He reiterated that laws were made out of desperation to stop the killings, adding that the killings started since 2011.

Commenting on the ECOWAS treaty, the Governor said, “The ECOWAS protocol has not been observed by any of the ECOWAS countries and basic documents and checks are not done on the herdsmen.

The land is no longer there. What existed in the 60s when cattle rearers come around with sticks not guns was that we related very well. There was no problem; there was no fighting.

Why must unwilling states be forced to give land ? Kano state has already offered the whole of Falgore forest reserve which is technically enough in landmass and vegetation to host over 200 million cattles forever which is more than all the cattles the herdsmen claim to have .... Strangely the Federal Govt deliberately left out Kano from areas earmarked for the suspicious cattle colonies!!!

this ranches is a good way to expose killer pdp,

By then bandit suswan can not put the killings on herdsmen again because they will now be restricted to a specific and particular area.

In that case wouldn't it be better to build this mega Ranch in the Falgore Forest reserve in Kano very far from Benue so Suswam and co won't have reason to lie against killer herdsmen again na ?

You cannot be forcing ranches on state and when the killings start you blame it on perceived opposition. There is massive land areas in places like sambisa forest why not take your ranches there than forcing it on people who enjoy legitimate rights like these killer herds men.

I swear they really take us for fools and I don't blame them but the lack of unity within the South...Any State that agrees to those ranches will become a Fulani state in just 20 years..you can ask those in his north local govt

Everybody who has looked at Nigeria's map know that the states with largest land mass to accommodate any type or size of ranch are the north West states NW.

I noticed the terror kingpin in Abuja cleverly removed Katsina, Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi etc from his grazing fields. If the NW states own and benefit from these cattle business the most, why not build the ranches there and let other states go there to get the goods and distribute nationwide?

Why go to places where there is already severe land scarcity and try to annex the little land left for farming and try to build cow reserve areas there?

Don't ind them.These people know exactly what there are doing.There are pursuing the expationist agenda of Othman dan fodio.Their ancestor could not reach the middle belt and southern part of Nigeria and now his descendants are out to continue the jihad under the guise of grazing colony

While no state can be forced to give it's land for the ranches, the FG has the right to purchase land anywhere it deems fit to do whatsoever it likes. Also the land use act gives the FG the power to appropriate land in some instances for national development

Yes...!! It's good but it should only be done in the Core Muslims North. Leave Christians land alone. We don't want Jihadists disguised as herdsmen.

No place for Sharia in Christian lands of middle belt and whole of South
