₦airaland Forum

Governors of the South-East states rose from a meeting in Enugu on Sunday evening with a decision that no land would be made available for the establishment of cattle ranches in the zone.

The meeting, which held at the Enugu State Government House, had the governors of Enugu (Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi), Ebonyi (Dave Umahi) in attendance, while Abia and Anambra were represented by the deputy governors.


ImoState Governor, Rochas Okorocha, was absent and was not represented by his deputy.

The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, presented the association’s ‘template on restructuring’ to the governors at the meeting, which ended late on Sunday evening.

Addressing journalists after the parley, the Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum, Umahi, disclosed that the governors had agreed that ranching would not be allowed in the zone.


Umahi explained that the reports that some South-East states had made land available for the establishment of ranches, based on a request by the Federal Government, were not true.

The Ebonyi State Governor stressed that while the Federal Government had not asked for any land for ranches, the governors would not accede to such a request, should it be made.


“No land in the South-East has been donated for ranching. We have not donated any land; we have not been asked to donate and we are not going to donate.

“Ranching is not approved by the South-East governors in the South-East,” Umahi declared.

The governors, in the same vein, condemned the recent killings in Plateau State, and demanded “justice for Plateau people.”

The governors, however, raised the alarm over what they described as challenges posed by the movement of herdsmen in the South-East.

They agreed to meet with heads of federal security agencies over the development.

Okorocha will donate, he is a mole in the south east

Better o! Our Eastern brothers can as well go into modern animal husbandry and render those vagabond herdsmen completely irrelevant.

Way to go guys.
As for idiotic Rochas, I'm still cross breeding the thunder wey go fire am with snake, scorpion and spider.

They said SE land mass is as big as Oyo state, why will any sane person want land in SE? There is not even enough land for our people not to talk of giving some for ranching. That people are debating on giving their lands to others to run their businesses shows how dumb people ruling that cave of a country are. When you read somethings about that jungle you marvel at people’s stupidity. Smh

it's so pathetic

Say no to them.

If they want land, they should create grazing areas in the North for themselves.

In the Southeast, we will defend our land by all means necessary.

This ranching idea has it good and bad sides

Why is Imo absent?

The way they value their cow is the way we value our land. We will never cede an inch to Fulani terrorists.

Imo state is on autopilot
Anyway, i like this: “Ranching is not approved by the South-East governors in the South-East,” Umahi declared.
