Southern state governors who prohibited open grazing in the Southern part of the country have lambasted Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) over the latter’s recent reaction to their unanimous decisions.
The governors from the three geo-political zones in the South had last week placed a ban on open grazing in the regions. They cited threat to food security among others as their reason for taking the decisive decision.
While citizens, including state and federal lawmakers from the geo-political zones backed the governors, others from the Northern Nigeria, including Mr Malami, kicked against it.
The AGF who also doubles as the Justice Minister said prohibiting open grazing was like banning sales of auto apart parts. He said the decision of the governors is an infringement on the freedom of movement right of Nigerians.
Berating the submission of the minister, the chairman of Southern Governors Forum (SGF), Rotimi Akeredolu, said it was unfortunate that a senior government officials like him finds it difficult to distinct between a legitimate business that is not in any way injurious and a certain predilection for anarchy.
“Clinging to an anachronistic model of animal husbandry, which is evidently injurious to the harmonious relationship between the herders and the farmers as well as the local populace, is wicked and arrogant,” Mr Akeredolu said in a statement on Thursday.
“Comparing this anachronism, which has led to the loss of lives, farmlands and property, and engendered untold hardship on the host communities, with buying and selling of auto parts is not only strange. It, annoyingly, betrays a terrible mindset.
“Mr. Malami is advised to approach the court to challenge the legality of the Laws of the respective States banning open grazing and decision of the Southern Governor Forum taken in the interest of their people. We shall be most willing to meet him in Court.
“The decision to ban open grazing stays. It will be enforced with vigour,” the SGF official added.
What do the Fulanis contribute to the national treasury? So they think carrying arms to blackmail other Nigerians will grant them amnesty?
It means you people are in support of their atrocious acts in the North which I have no probs with but the moment you try to extend it to South, probably SS then you will have me to contend with, shey you say na una get naija? Oga come claim am na. Idi.ots
ablejesus26: That's the Southern problem to worry about. Worry about the boko haram,iswap and bandits turning your own region into a death trap.
Idiot you tried to use your divide and rule antics on this thread but you failed woefully. You can never be from SS from now till eternity. Get out of here,go try your divide and rule on another thread.��
Coldshisha: Tinubu Jagaban tormentor General of future less children of hate
Rather than adhere to the advise you choose lament when it's not yet time, just know that SW Presidency is dead on arrival. You can't betray south and now want a united front because your ambition is threatened.
ablejesus26: Oga even the Hausas will dismember themselves from you when the time comes. Hope you know that the more you claim to be SS the more your problems multiply��
Let them dismember themselves, why should my welfare worry you? Face yours. We ain't part of your useless Southern Unity project that will crash midway.
ablejesus26: Another deception from the pockets of a taquiyya demon ��.
The same mnk throws his support for the new Southern Governors meeting. Save your energy for when your angry boko haram brothers come attacking again.So you can run to the mountains ��.
Oga SS won't support your stupid clamour for 2023 Presidency through the backdoor of useless Southern Unity, get that into your thick dumbskull
ablejesus26: You don dey talk true small small.��. Yes our prayers are with the SW as they also battle to be free from the dividends of voting in your fulani uncle ��. But we have a common goal at least for now. Plss carry your cows enter Mbaitolu we need to ask you something very important.��. Open grazing remains banned in the Southland ��. You and your NE uncles can take your cows elsewhere.
If you Igbos want to stand with the SW, good for you, count we SS out, it won't work
ablejesus26: I don't know about the good people of SS. But SE stands in support of the new movement with anyother region to put you and your killer brothers in your place ��. The more reason why I said you can never be from Southern region, is bcus you are always too too late to the party ��.
Which SE? Wait till it's election time then you will know, was it not this same people that were mocking SE when herdsmen were wrecking havoc and Kanu boys went against them?
Didn't you see them masturbating over an alleged capture of Ikonso's successor?
SpearofGod: Who is talking about 2023 when there's a real battle at hand? Did you see any of the Southerner governors discuss 2023 in the meeting, because that is the Fulanis are using in creating the rift that was in the South.
That meeting will finally end with 2023 discussion, why must they bring it up now? That's my question, did Fulani start the killing yesterday? Why silent all this while?
ablejesus26: Oga we in the South will settle our differences. Yes the yorubas bleeped up. But when we are done with dealing with you and your killer brothers. We can now face ourselves again ��.
Keep claiming to be from SS that's how that curse on your head will be increasing ��
You and who will settle which difference? Go and get the settlement written down to avoid being betrayed.
We SS and SE won't join you guys in the fighting, go and fight alone
SpearofGod: I'm South-South, Delta State to be precise
Oga those oil drinkers are not to be trusted, they are begging for unity, just watch they want to use us to lobby for 2023 Presidency, once they give it to them, they will immediately dump the unity project.
Have you asked yourself why they brought this now? So there was no need for unity all this while until they came up with 2023 Presidency which they have seen is not feasible?
For me an Akwa Ibomite, we will take our pound of flesh by participating in the election and boycotting their unity plea, the govs are free to join them but they can't decide for the masses
ablejesus26: See cursed monkey wey no let people hear word with him sai baba change ��. How far with the change na��
Idiot, no be you install the baba for roasted plantain? E don clear for your eyes u come dey find unity. Take it elsewhere we SS and SE don't want, na by force?
ablejesus26: ��There's nothing the spirit of taquiyya cannot do���. Yes no presidency for Sw. But your cows will be used for barbecue if we catch you��.
Boko Haram are finishing you and your region up your mumu cursed head is still worrying about something that doesn't concern you.
Try it let's see, I trust Fulanis they will chase you remaining idiots to join your red oil drinking brothers who are refugees in another country.
Let them finish me and my region, why e concern you? allow me cry my cry, take your unity elsewhere, we SS and SE don't want.
ablejesus26: Oga nobody is talking about SW presidency, the stage will are now is to deal with a common enemy. You and your bend down urinate killers and brothers from futa d jalon will not get to use your troublesome cows to do your evil again in the South. And I hope the MB too joins in. Take your cows to your Sambisa forest.��
There's no stage you here, why bring up Southern Unity project all of a sudden? So when you were betraying SS there was no need for unity then? Na now wey aboki don use and dump you wey unity matter?
Have we not been surviving without this unity? We must continue it.
go and form your unity alone and leave SS and SE. We don't want, na by force?
SpearofGod: Lies. You are here to create division that is why you keep Stoking the flame of disunity. You are certain that with southern unity the battle with the Fulanis will be much easier.
So with SS betrayal the battle was easier then baa? You be mu.mu no SW Presidency
ablejesus26: ���It's obvious that your killer brothers are hell bent on causing havoc in the South and MB but their time is coming very soon. So will you graze your cows openly in the South land??we wan ask you something ��.
.
When you betrayed SS in 2015 you should have considered this. No SW Presidency period.
Keep pretending to be SS while boko haram are taking full control of your region.
How can I pretend to be SS when am not and Boko will still take my region? Can't you see you're confused?
ablejesus26: The only one who will be taking revenge is the Southerners and the middle belts, dat has suffered greatly in the hands of your fulani killers dat are being covered up by your NE leaders.
Just wait time will come when your wings will be clipped.
If you think you have strong head heard your cursed cows in the open at any place close to Mbaitolu tomorrow, let's see if you will be living to tell the story.
So you suffered greatly and re-elected them in 2019 right? Which wings? By who? You chestbeaters? no SW Presidency if you don't like it go and die
ablejesus26: �� Who dash monkey SS. Yes SW bleeped up , and they also have suffered from the dividends of their actions, but right now we are putting all those behind to ensure we put you and your land grabbing demons from hell back into your place ��.
Continue to dey bend down urinate until you go hear booommm for your head. You kukuma know se your Boko brothers no get pity to wait make you bend down piss finish ��
Oga, that's for you, we SS must take revenge, if you don't like it commit suicide.
