Gov Abiodun, southern govs to outlaw open grazing

...call for national conference, review of national appointments

Worried about the spate of killings, kidnappings, arson and robbery, Ogun State Governor, Prince @dabiodunMFR and all Southern Nigerian governors, except Osun State governor, @GboyegaOyetola and his Cross Rivers state counterpart, @ben_ayade converged on Asaba, the Delta State capital on Tuesday.

Under the aegis of the Southern Nigeria Governors Forum (SNGF) they addressed the growing issues of insecurity and other matters affecting their different regions with the composite framework of the Nigerian federation.

Speaking at the end of the meeting, Ondo State governor, @RotimiAkeredolu said after reviewing the situation in the country, southern governors roundly condemned open grazing and ordered movement of cattle from the Northern part of the country to the South.

They also called for a National conference to determine National questions bothering on the nature of Nigeria's federalism and federal character in national appointments, among other issues.

The Southern Nigeria Governors Forum is the umbrella body for all the seventeen governors in South-West, South-South and South-East geo-political zones of Nigeria.

A statement issued by Governor Dapo Abiodun's Chief Press Secretary, Mr. @KunleSomorin, said the meeting was an intervention mechanism to stem the worrisome tide of insecurity in the country that has defied ethnic and regional lines.

While the South West has Amotekun, Ebubeagu is the name of the security outfit of the South East region to address region-specific challenges.

The Southern Nigeria Governors Forum meeting critically evaluated the security challenges in the country, the implications for southern Nigeria and proffered an immediate and long term solutions so as to keep the regions safe and secured for the citizens.

It would be recalled that the Southern Nigeria Governors Forum held a virtual meeting last Tuesday at the instance of Governors @RotimiAkeredolu (Ondo), @IAOkowa (Delta) and @DaveUmahi (Ebonyi) who are chairmen of the South-West, South-South and South-East Governors Forum respectively.

If only hate for Kanu allowed some people see the truth...

Finally. E Don set.

It's time to change the course of this unworking marriage.

To be or not to be ....that is the question that needs urgent answer lest it all blow up in our faces.

Kudos to the governors and I hope they make good their plans.

Let each region go their separate ways is as simple as that. The northern side has done their own as we see them distributing Ramadan gift to their people. Marriage is not by force na.

A fresh national conference is reasonable since they’re fresh grievances.

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

If only the betrayals from ............ Can humble themselves and not betray the Southern unity, Northerners wouldn't be taking us for a ride.

A step in the right direction but dissolution remains the ultimate solution..

Bunch of toothless dogs that will only represent their selfish interests.

I saw how people was supporting the fulanis herdsmen on another thread for killing innocent igbos in their farmland in Anambra..
At least your fulanis intention is obvious and open. The fulanis police should leave the ignore land and go and fight Bokoharams.. after fulanis herdsmen kills the igbos in the bush they will go to the police station to hide... Thank you UGM for killing the police men...
