Rivers: Call Those Practicing Open Grazing To Order – Fubara To Herders by Parachoco: 8:28pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has charged Muslim clerics in the state, to caution herdsmen against harassing residents of communities, allegedly killing farmers, and damaging crops in the state. Governor Fubara gave this charge when the leadership of the Muslim community in the state, paid him a visit in the spirit of Eid al-Adha on Thursday, at Government House in Port Harcourt. The Governor noted that it is his duty as the chief security officer of the state to protect their businesses, but stated that he cannot, if some of the “errant members of their fold are destroying the businesses and livelihoods of others.” Fubara stated that the purpose of his administration is to protect the lives and properties of everyone. Governor Fubara said, “The local government areas are complaining, so I expect results in a couple of weeks by calling these people who practice open grazing to order in Ikwerre, Etche, Ahoada East, Ahoada West and parts of Emohua Local Government Areas. “They shouldn’t be harassing the people and should stop killing them on their farms.” In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Governor, Boniface Onyedi, Fubara assured of keeping the channel of communication between the state government and the Muslim community open because they are critical stakeholders in governance who should enjoy the benefit of the prevailing peace to do their business and worship without molestation. The leader of the delegation, and Vice President General of the Rivers State Council of Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Nasir Awhelebe Uhor, assured that the Muslim community would not be involved in using religion to destabilize the State. Alhaji Uhor pledged support for the policies and programmes of the government of Governor Fubara. https://dailypost.ng/2023/06/29/rivers-call-those-practicing-open-grazing-to-order-fubara-to-herders/ |

Imagine a governor begging a 3rd party to tell herdsmen to stop attacking his people... This is rather funny when you realize that Rivers state just like most Southern states banned open grazing in 2021. Go try opening beer distribution point in the north..dem go waste your trucks & your drinks join. 7 Likes |

We can all see the effects of Wike and Tinubu on Nigeria, weak institutions and strong men who are above the institutions, also to note that when we tell them that the herdmen attacks are Islamic jihad, some people will come out and start talking otherwise.... Now the imposed governor cannot do anything, neither can the president do much because of too much illegality to gain power 1 Like |

I don't even see why there should be herdsmen in the first place. the nerves! It's an archaic practice! This isn't old ages. If these herdsmen can't buy feeds for their cows, they should forget it and fuvck off! Do anyone see any herdsmen in any developed countries? The audacity! |

Fulani herders that were quiet in Rivers state during the tenure of Chief Nyesom Wike have now raised their ugly heads now that the Ikwerre warrior has left office. Honestly, Tinubu should seriously consider Wike as his minister of defence to put a decisive stop to the herders and their killing spree. Farmers all over the country can no longer go to their own farms because of one stubborn foriegn tribe holding the whole country to ransom. |

Open grazing should be banned in Nigeria totally. I don't understand why is so difficult for the government. Is a very backward practice. We should be advancing. |
