Plateau Grazing Reserve- Sen Jonah Jang talks down Gov Lalong
Former Governor of Plateau state Senator Jonah Jang yesterday berated Governor Simon Lalong for supporting the grazing reserve.

In a statement yesterday 12th June, 2016 Jang said,

"For the Federal Government which owns no cattle to connive with willing state governors to impose a grazing reserve policy on the hapless Plateau citizens who have suffered the brunt of rampaging herdsmen in the no distant past is not only an abuse of their rights but an assault on their already battered psyche.. Plateau people should rise up against any attempt to cede their land for grazing ".

Reacting swiftly, Governor Lalong said,

"This is an eloquent testimony of Jang's testimony of his "we" versus "them" classification of citizens. We will not compulsorily take any land from anyone. The issue of grazing reserves and ranches are options within the purview of the customary law owners and local councils to volunteer ".

Watching!

I support senator Jang on this. Cattle rearing is a normal agricultural activity why a bill on grazing reserve? Fisheries too needs a bill on ponds and waters for fishing reserve!

all midle belters should reject this grazing reserve
