No going back on open grazing ban, says Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said that he will implement the ban on open grazing as resolved by Southern State governors in Asaba, Delta State.

The Governor said he cannot be cowed by anybody, saying there is no going back on the decision to ban open grazing in Rivers State.

Wike stated this at a grand reception in his honour by the people of the Ogoni ethnic nationality in Bori, Khana Local Government Area of the state on Saturday, even as he was also conferred with a chieftaincy title by the Ogoni people led by the Chairman, Supreme Council of Ogoni Traditional Rulers, HRM King Godwin Giniwa.

He said Rivers belonged to people from every part of the state, urging the Ogoni people to resist any form of intimidation by anyone who wanted them to take the back seat in the scheme of things.

While noting that militarization of election in the state will not work, he warned incoming council chairmen in the state to brace up, adding that the State House of Assembly will not hesitate to suspend nonperforming chairmen.

Nobody should play God. We will flog them again. Militarization of election will not work. Didn’t they bring Army before? Did it work? We will flog them again.

“Nobody can cow me. The government cannot cow me. I will say my mind and I will do what is right for my people. Nobody can kill me before my time. I will die the day God wants me to die.


Let me also tell those who are criticizing Southern Governors’ ban on open grazing, let me inform them that I have taken further steps to enforce what the southern governors resolved in Asaba.

“If anyone wants to die, let him go and die and hang himself on an electric pole. We (Southern Governors) have taken a decision and there is no going back. Enough is enough. We are not second-class citizens of this country. We also own this country and we must partake in what is happening in this country,” Wike stated.

The governor said he has directed security agencies in the state to arrest prominent personalities in the state, who flout the curfew imposed in the state to check the spate of insecurity.

Governor Wike said any prominent person caught should be thoroughly dealt with, to serve as a deterrence to others.

“Obey the curfew time. It is very important. I have instructed the security agencies to arrest prominent personalities who flout the curfew time and use them as examples. I am looking for prominent people that I will use as examples,” Wike said.

Wike ,all of una na the same.

United south is a win win for them. The politicians will benefit, the people will benefit because the resources will be used judiciously. The politicians will tend to be more devoted as there won't be federal might, the people own the power.

But my question is, what if these governors are just using this ban to buy time? Most of them are in their second term. What if they do not really mean it?

If the Fulanis like, let them cry to high heavens. Ban of open Grazing in Biafralamd holds. Any cow sen in the forest is a Bush meat

This is good ooh

Nigeria is neither the world's largest producer of beef,milk or any dairy products. The countries at the top make use of the ranching system and you can see it's clearly effective and efficient

It's a disgrace that cows here will be grazing in the national stadium or dragging the roads with vehicles

I went for my cousin's matriculation 2 years ago.. A school in Imo state; see cows roaming the school premises. Anywhere u put leg,u go see cow shit; it was disgusting

Very good

Middlebelt......

South need to be united in this trying time

Let the deadly cow's people be flushed out of our peaceful land in the South

Yes no going back

Even banon sleeping outside and religious premises should banned as well.

“If anyone wants to die, let him go and die and hang himself on an electric pole. We (Southern Governors) have taken a decision and there is no going back. Enough is enough. We are not second-class citizens of this country. We also own this country and we must partake in what is happening in this country,” Wike stated.

Rubberstamp SP take note.

About time we take back this country from incompetents, jihadists, terrorists and nepotistic crooks.

A United South is a necessity NOW.

Nice one

If u no like the ban on open grazing go and die...

Let's see if he will keep to his word. For all I know, this one is politics as usual.

That being said....I like this ban.

Let ndi Fulani carry their dirty cows to d North. I'm tired of seeing them...so much filth and stench everywer dey pass.

No wonder d average Fulani reasons less than a donkey... how can dey reason better...when what they perceive almost all their lives is cow dung... Eww

I am appall that the most illiterate and the most backward people are the ones dictating the pace.

we are watching them.

Ride on governor Wike, but let me also warn you that any ngwaman you mishandled because of your stupid curfew we won't help you to bring out those who commit crime and ran to us for protection.

Ikwere man know me na.

All this igbo calling for southern unity...

MAKE UNA ALWAYS REMEMBER SAY NA YORUBA UNA DEY FOLLOW SHOUT SOUTHERN NONSENSE

WILL NEVER SUPPORT SOUTHERN UNITY WITH YORUBA PEOPLE...

Any human dealing with Yoruba as a tribe must be very very extra very careful

History always repeat itself.

Will rather be in unity with Fulani ... they kill me .. I kill them ..

Na word.

go and tell the people that send you that things have changed.

Good

South Don sneeze, north Don dey shiver

Wike the wicked u want to cross buhari's red line?

It is now obvious to the governors that Buhari is not the one running the show, hence, the need to take charge of their security.

Mr project I trust u.

Whenever he talk, buhari always has a sleepless nights.


Kogi (my state) is blessed with bad leaders from audu to Ibrahim Idris to wada and the worst Bello. Even military, aniebo, b.l afakhiriya are all bird of a feather. I'm fed up!

Wicked Wike on da beat
Fulani's mk una get sense oo

forward ever after this we look for something else to ban

Southern Governors are just making noise. Let's see how it goes. They know Nigeria belong to us all, every Citizen of Nigeria has the right to move about freely and do business wherever he or she deem fit without harassment. These southern Governors are high on Ogogoro

Simplyleo the saddist man-child will not like this.
A toddler trapped in adult body with nothing to live for aside hatred for peace loving Igbos

Like Saul, he will suffer total blindness the day a government with equity, justice and equal rights mounts the saddle of this country.
