THE ANTI-OPEN GRAZING LAW IN BENUE AND OTHER STATES IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
~ *ATIKU*

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in next month’s election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has called for a review of the open grazing prohibition and ranches establishment law in some states of the federation.

Atiku, who was answering questions, Wednesday, on a talkshow “The Candidates” said the law was unconstitutional and infringes on the rights of Fulani herdsmen to freedom of movement and residence across the country.

“We have to look at the constitutionality of those laws. I’m not sure whether they come with the provisions of our constitution which guarantees freedom of movement, the right to reside wherever you want in the country and so on, and so forth. So we have to look at that.

“The constitution does not restrict the movement of people in Nigeria, so any law that restrict people from moving freely and doing their legitimate business can’t be upheld,” he said.

The former vice-president said rather than ban the free movement of cattle, feeding lots should be established across the country, an intervention which he admitted would take a long time to achieve.

“I believe that the best solution to the farmers/herders clashes is to try and enlighten our herdsmen on the use of feeding lots. These feeding lots can conveniently be established all over the country.

*JUST A REMINDER ON WHAT VOTERS ARE GOING TO CHOOSE FROM*

Atiku will be buhari pro max if elected president. All Fulani have the same ideology. Don't let them fool us. Thank God all this are coming before election

If that is the case, who said igboho should not come to Lagos to do rally? Or is president Musa yaradua not a Fulani Man that every tribe were praising him even after his death.

Mr OP let me ask you what has BAT done for Yoruba people.

Fake news. The Waziri Adamawa is a man with democratic principles.

Atiku is a bigot

The joke is on you

Ttalk:

can you tell me what BAT have done for Yoruba people.

These are my concerns between the two candidates.....cus even Tinubu hasn't taken a stand on the herdsmen issue..... honestly the only thing we need in Nigeria is restructuring.

Atiku can not be trusted in many areas of Nigeria problems!
He supports open grazing and he said he will hand over all Federal Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges to State Governments!

Southern Nigerians will regret forever if they vote in an Atiku,the symbolism of a Fulani handing over to another Fulani should not be taken lightly

Post screenshots of this same news from major news platforms like punch, thenation and vanguard etc.

The Waziri Adamawa is a man with democratic principles, and he'll implement federalism to the core when he takes the helm of affairs at Aso rock come next year. He is also a detribalised individual and will work for the general good of all ethnic tribes and groups in Nigeria.

Does Tinubu represent Yoruba. Maybe you need to reframe your question if you want an answer from me

It's why I just laugh at people pushing tinubu and obi. even if a southern president were to emerge he would be too timid to act on the herdsmen issue considering that majority of his votes are coming from the north. It's why don't even bother about voting in presidential elections, the system is faulty, and changing the driver(president) won't fix the issue.

No wonder he built his bottle water factory and University in Adamawa.

We have not suffered enough if any sensible Nigerian caste for Atiku.

Any aspirant that holds this view is a bigot & vision-less leader & does not deserve to be the president of Nigeria.

I cry at your hopelessness and delight that it is not infectious.

Most here know the power of their one vote to change the system by first changing the driver who would drive the system to a different more able mechanic.

Or Tinubu.

Imagine

And this too.
