The Office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has faulted claims by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria that Osinbajo’s office is in charge of implementing the Ruga settlement initiative across the country.

The General Secretary of MACBAN, Baba Uthman Ngelzarma, had said Osinbajo’s office was in charge of implementing the programme nationwide.

He had said, “This Ruga settlement model is a component part of the livestock development and transformation plan that is being implemented under the Office of the Vice-President. It is a component part of it.

“All must agree with me that the crisis we are facing today has become a multi-dimensional one and so the approach must also be holistic. It was the desire of the Federal Government to take a holistic approach that gave birth to the Ruga settlement model and it is not only for Fulani herders.”

However, the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, said in a tweet on Friday that the programme being handled by Osinbajo was different from the one being referred to by Miyetti Allah.

Akande said the National Livestock Transformation Plan, which had been endorsed by the National Economic Council, was different from the Ruga programme

He tweeted, “Contrary to claims reported in sections of the media, Ruga settlements are not being supervised by the Office of the Vice President. Ruga is different from the National Livestock

Transformation Plan approved by state governors under the auspices of the National Economic Council.
“On the National Livestock Transformation Plan, 13 States are already in the process of implementation of a plan to transform the livestock production system in Nigeria along market-oriented value chain while ensuring an atmosphere of peace and justice.

“The states are Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Kogi, Kwara, Ondo, and Edo. These states are at different stages in the process but have indicated readiness to implement the plan. Truth is: this Federal Government will not impose on any state government regarding its land.

“NEC okayed the plan based on the recommendation of a technical committee of the council chaired by Ebonyi State Governor Umahi. Other state governors who were on the committee and working group are Adamawa, Kaduna, Benue, Taraba, Edo, Plateau, Oyo and Zamfara-mostly the frontline states.”

Why are you people so docile ? Who told you Ruga has anything to do with beef market , Ruga is handing part of your land to Fulanis from where they will grow Emirates

This is one dirty job I expect the VP to vehemently reject except they have got him by his balls.

How would he approach and convince his people in Ogun State to give up their ancestral land for the Ruga thing?

Loyalty has a limit.

And don't forget to lease your family's ancestral land to them.

We, in the East and better South, will never cede an inch of territory to any terrorist. The Plateau all started as a result of just 1 Ruga settlement.

Give fulanis a hectare, they will still graze their cows outside those settlements, if not, one forest is enough for them and nobody would care.

The would graze the forest and in a second, you would see them in someone's farm. But go to NW, you would see how they protect their cows from grazing on farms even though there are not enough grasses.

Fear, fear Osinbajo

Osinbajo has read the handwriting on the wall, he is trying to distance himself from the program
should it go wrong.

Better be true oh..... this one no be trader money. let them look for another useful idiöt.

Osibanjo will be a scape goat for the Ruga thing

A slave will continue being a slave

I trust Buhari to feign ignorance of this

I'm just here for the comments o!

You dont have to support him. In fact he was not picked by Igbo. Miyetti Allah picked him to succeed Buhari. So dont start beating chest. Let fulani herdsmen beat chest, he is their choice for 2023.
