Open Grazing Ban: There’ll be no peace – Fulani group warns Southern govs

A Fulani group, Gan Allah Fulani Development Association, GAFDAN, has warned against the resolution of Southern governors to ban open grazing.

GAFDAN said a ban on open grazing would lead to a breakdown of peace between Northerners and Southerners.

The group insisted that the decision of the governors would groom hatred between Southerners and Northerners.

Southern governors under the umbrella of the Southern Governors’ Forum, SGF, had agreed to ban open grazing in their region.

During their meeting in Lagos State, the governors agreed that the ban would take effect from September 1.

However, GAFDAN’s National Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, described the resolution as unfortunate and capable of affecting Nigeria’s unity.

Abdullahi said the resolution was impossible because they have not made an alternative plan for herders.

According to Abdullahi: “If you stop open grazing in the South, you are simply saying that those people should move to the North or they should move to other parts of the country. What happens if those in the North also ask the Southerners to leave?

“Are we promoting unity or hatred? What the governors are saying is practically impossible and it does not promote the unity of this country.

“You don’t stop people’s means of living and expect peace to reign. So, the implication is that the unity of Nigeria is going to be in question.

“You don’t expect those that will be affected to return to the North and live in peace with people from the South living in the North”.

If Southern Governors want to blackmail the North, they may lose the presidency – Miyetti Allah.

AntiBMC:
...DSS will not arrest them now for threatening the peace of the country until the south fight back.They should keep pushing the south to the wall...the implosion will happen sooner than they think.
