No Land For Ruga Settlement In Edo — Obaseki by Nobody: 3:10pm On Jul 02, 2019

State Governor Godwin Obaseki says his government will not give any land for the establishment of Ruga settlement. He said his administration’s agricultural plans had nothing to do with the Ruga settlement being proposed by the Federal Government.

Obaseki, in a statement yesterday by his spokesman, Crusoe Osagie, said the state’s agricultural plans were developed long before the Ruga settlement initiative was conceived.

Obaseki said he would not cede land to anybody as “the state’s programmes as a sovereign state do not run on the back of any external entity.”

“In all the agricultural programmes being executed in the state, the safety, security and prosperity of our people are top priority and non-negotiable,” he said.

Meanwhile, the chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has cautioned the state government not to give any land for the proposed Ruga settlement. The party chairman in the state, Dan Orbih, gave the warning in Benin yesterday. He said: “Our stand is not political. It is something about the Edo people. We had reports of people being killed, people being chased out of their farmland. It is quite disturbing and not in our culture to bring in animals to destroy farms that we labour to cultivate. “This issue of Ruga settlement can be likened to the situation where you will carry pigs from the south, to a complete Muslim community and you say you want to create a space for people who have engaged in piggery to do their farms in a Muslim community.

That is the same way it is for us in Edo State, and when you know very well it is not part of our culture. “More worrisome is the awkward silence from the governor when other governors in some states have come out to opposed to the proposed decision of the federal government to establish Ruga settlement across the country.”

Obaseki is playing with fire

Has he forgotten he is an APC governor, and his state an APC state and currently at loggerhead with oshiomhole.

Secondly, there are also great population of Muslims in Edo state especially north...

I think he should accept the Ruga settlement to be in peace with buhari and APC.

Who told you so..? Things have changed my guy!
Can u name anywhere in Edo state that has great number of Muslims ? Can u name the elected officials from those places to know their religious leaning?

So when will Edo produce common Muslim deputy govnor with their "great number" as u claim?

Abubakar momoh of PDP was supposed to win Edo north senatorial election cos Edo is mainly PDP but being a Muslim cost him the seat. We don't do évil people in anywhere SS

Etsako west, is predominantly Muslim but as far as I can say that's as much as they have it in edo state.
I very much love the analogy with pigs... U can't create a pig market or piggery in a Muslim community bcoz its against their culture and religion.

Good.

I am happy we the better south is 100% united on this ruga bullshitt. The SW can give their lands we don't care.

Imagine proposing 6 Ruga settlements in each state, not even 1, but 6.

That is 102 fulani's settlement in the South alone.

Buhari is really a terrorist.

he was just under pressure since PDP in the state already making a big deal out from it.

although he wouldn't concede to such nonsense since the OBA and edo people are against it.

Sure, only sane and honest Nigerians know what OSINBAJO is doing in Aso rock.
Supporters of crimes, fraudsters and evil will never know.

God bless our darling President Muhammadu Buhari and his AMIABLE Vice President PROF YEMI OSINBAJO.
The men after God's heart.
We love them.

Kudos to Obaseki.

Edo has rejected it
Ondo has rejected it
Ekiti has rejected it.

Is it a coincidence that the three states (Lagos, Ogun and Osun) that Tinubu is their godfather, are yet to say anything about Ruga?

We're watching!

In as much few to no conflicts happen in this zone, I think the gesture need not be introduced into the state.

But if Obaseki was proactive enough to foresee and continuously improve, I did will "personally" advice he buys into so as to nail open grazing.

Sentiments, religious and tribal bigotry has eaten so deep into the populace that we even tend to ignore the much benefit that out weighs the odds.

But if No, ai don't think Edo requires such. They have been with herdsmen for years without conflicts. Same scenerio applies to the South East and South South.

But for North, This should be implemented across
