ABUJA—THE Fulani in Nigeria have said they will not accept cattle ranching because the country’s geographical location was not suitable for it.


It’s caused by strangers fuelled by politicians, religious leaders – Miyetti Allah


Besides, the Fulani said the species of cows they had, as subsistence livestock farmers, were not good for ranching in the country, saying they could only be confined to ranching if their livestock were replaced with breeds suitable for it.

This was even as they said the anti-open grazing laws being established by state governments would die a natural death like ‘political sharia law’ in Zamfara.

According to them, the laws are being used as campaigns by some people to win votes in 2019 elections.

Addressing newsmen, yesterday, in Abuja, through their socio-cultural association under the aegis of Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore, the Fulani insisted that events in history showed that ranching was not practicable in Nigeria and to this end, urged the Federal Government to immediately stop state governments from enacting anti-open grazing laws.

National Secretary of Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore, Saleh Alhassan, who read the association’s prepared speech to newsmen at the event, called on the Federal Government to stop state governments, especially Benue and Taraba states, from going ahead with implementing the laws.

He said: “The whole experiment of ranching in Nigeria is a total failure, you can google it, it’s there on the Internet for everyone to see.

“ Right from the 70s,the old Gongola State had experimented ranching, the same with Kaduna State and even the old Plateau State. All the ranches collapsed because the geographical location of this country is not suitable for ranching.

“In places where there are successful ranching in the world, the volume of rain per annum in those areas is at least four to seven months, that’s why you have grasses that can naturally be sustained.

“At the same time, you must have the necessary breeds that will support even ranching. The current breeds we have in this country cannot be supported by ranching.

“Anywhere you keep these volume of cows we have now, for two weeks, they will eat out everything and you will have ecological disaster, “he said.

Alhassan said the purpose of the briefing, coming barely a week after the previous one, was to further reassert the position of the Fulani on the anti-grazing laws enacted by state governors and their opposition to it.

He said: “ We view the anti-grazing law as an agenda to destroy our means of livelihood by visionless and desperate politicians.

“Anti-grazing laws are nothing but populist agenda designed by visionless and desperate politicians to destroy our means of livelihood.

“This dangerous gambit must be nib in the bud by the federal government through the security agencies as it portends great danger to the cooperate existence of the country.

“These laws are oppressive and negative and are fundamentally against our culture as Fulani pastoralists, against our economic interest and against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“ It is important to note that inter-state movement of pastoralists is similar to inter-state commerce and it is only the National Assembly that can legislate on that aspect as captured in item 62 of the exclusive legislative list. So no state governor can decide to stop movement of pastoralists because that is their own form of commerce. So, they have gone against the constitution.

“The laws do not take into cognisance our sociology, our economic interest, our production patterns, climate variations and factors that pushed pastoralists into these migrations. These migrations are not picnics, they are detected by ecological needs.

“It is a common knowledge that the primitive form of agriculture practiced in Benue and Taraba states and indeed all over the country, is not consonant with global best practices.

“ So why singling out the pastoralists and insist that they must ranch which is the global best practice? That’s out argument.

“If the whole agricultural policy, the whole development of agriculture in Nigeria is still at this primitive stage, you cannot single out the herders who are also farmers that they must practice global best practice, it’s not possible.”

Alhassan insisted that Benue State government breached the constitution by stopping open grazing, given that the River Benue Basin, its tributaries and lakes were under the control of the federal government.

“Again, very fundamentally,the River Benue and the tributaries and also the international routes and roads that pass through Benue don’t belong to Benue State Government, they belong to the Federal Government. Benue State Government has no jurisdiction over River Benue, its tributaries, the lakes, the river basins, they are all federal government’s. So how do you now start to legislate to say ‘you are going to stop access to those natural resources?’

“Between January and and early May,is when pastoralists move to the river basins because that is the peak of dry season and most of the rivers pastoralists use to water their animals dried up and they now move towards the River Benue.

“So designing a policy that will exclude the herders completely is wrong, what they should have done is to have restricted areas for the herders and then give them access to grazing corridors and watering points during those peak periods of dry season.

“As cultivation comes up during the rainy season, these people naturally migrate northwest. So, it’s detected by climatic changes. That’s why we are saying it’s not possible, the law will not work because it’s not well thought out.

“Then for you to create a ranch, the environmental impact assessment must be done on the areas earmarked for the ranch, and it must not take a minimum of two to three seasons. That’s to say you must do studies during the wet season, do studies during the dry season and then repeat it so that you compare before you can say this place is suitable for a ranch.

“So ranch is technologically driven, it’s capital intensive and it’s not practicable for this kind of subsistence farmers we have, the livestock farmers are subsistence farmers. It’s just like saying nobody will cultivate his land if he doesn’t own a tractor, so how many people will go to farm?

“ So, it’s not that we don’t want to respect law and order but when you make an impossible laws, then you are not creating peace. You are either deliberately attempting to provoke conflict for either political reasons or you are being hoodwinked and deceived by desperate political advisers just probably because they want to get money out of you, they make you create laws that will create conflict.”

The Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore scribe continued:”In particular, the Benue Valley which has been causing problem in land resources, we have issue of population and nature and pattern of settlement. It’s not just the herders that can be blamed for it.

“If you look at it typically, the Tiv people have the culture of nomadic farming, if they farm this year here, the next year they move to another location and their culture of reproduction is such a manner that it has made useless of land tenure system.

“ There’s no Tiv farmer that will tell you that ‘we have a family land’ because of the fragmentation of the land, because of the number of children they have, they cannot inherit any parcel of land. So they now straddle along communities in the Benue Valley and neigbouring states’ lands belonging to other communities and fallow lands that pastoralists use for grazing, they will cultivate them in a very extensive primitive manner, occupying large hectares of land.

“If they cultivate here this year, the next year, they move to other places. That is why they have problem in Nasarawa border communities, they have problem in Taraba border communities. All those areas are extensively being cultivated, there is no mechanization any where, and there’s no modern farming. So, with the pressure on the land resource, if you want to address it, you cannot just single out the herders and say ‘they must be kept in one place without making any provisions for them.’”

According to him, the anti-open grazing laws were being targeted at Fulanis and their livestock.

“And these laws, if you look at them, they are targeted at the pastoralists because one, you have not provided any space for them and you ask them to go and buy land to create ranches when the context of the law you created, you have already poisoned the minds of the people that own the land, that you are creating this law because of the crisis that is in place. So who will allow anybody to have access to the land?

“So our point is that if the government is serious, they should make land available to us after all, the Land Use Act vests lands in the hands of state governors. So they should give us land so that we can practice our occupation.”

He said contrary to beliefs in some quarters land trespass has been the source of Fulani and farmers crisis in Benue, it was rather cattle rustling, youth unemployment and what he called rural banditory, wondering why there was pending cases of land trespass in any law court in the state.

“I challenge the Benue State Government to tell us how many court cases that have to do with trespass on land are before the courts in Benue? Or is it that they don’t have faith in the judiciary that they don’t take cases there?

“So, it’s not a question of trespass on land, that’s just the truth. I want people to understand that these conflicts we are having year in and year out, the major drivers are not on trespass on land. Rather, the drivers are cattle rustling, rural banditory, youth unemployment and desperate politicians that want to create crisis so they can sustain themselves in power, “he added.

The promise of supporting the prospects of a President of Igbo extraction in 2023 by the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been widely dismissed as deceptive by Igbo leaders. President Muhammadu Buhari and Eboyin State governor during the President’s visit to Eboyin They particularly described it as a ploy to get the region to support President Muhamadu Buhari’s perceived second term ambition, adding that it was not in the interest of Ndigbo. Though the calls to support the party, which APC leaders described as the surest path to Igbo Presidency, sounded simplistic, Igbo leaders said the interest of the zone was not guaranteed in the APC. Consequently, they told Saturday Vanguard, that they would mobilise the Igbo against what was labelled as the deceptive antics of the APC. Saturday Vanguard observed that many in the zone viewed the President’s visit to Ebonyi State last Tuesday and his speech as the latest in the series of moves aimed towards attracting Igbo support ahead of the 2019 poll. The six-month regime of the late Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was the only time the Southeast governed the country, as the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was only a ceremonial President in the Balewa government. Ndigbo should be careful of APC—Eya A former Secretary-General of Ohaneze, Chief Nduka Eya said: “Let them stop deceiving the Igbo. I want the Igbo to know that the APC can’t give us 2023 presidency. The Igbo can only get it with a two-third majority, not through the promises being made by the APC. The party thinks that Buhari’s presence in the Southeast will make the Igbo vote for the APC in 2019. That is not possible, except they rig the election. The Igbo are wiser now. Those people talking about supporting the APC so that we can have Igbo presidency in 2023 should forget about it. ‘’APC cannot be trusted. We are not even interested in it now, what the Igbo need is to put their house in order. We have the Deputy Senate President and Ohaneze leadership, who are expected to use their positions to rightly put our house in order. “They should stop deceiving themselves. My message for Ndigbo is that they should not take that bait. When the party was campaigning for election, they promised to revive the coal corporation in Enugu. But we have not seen anything except a visit by some officials. We have terrible roads and they are not interested in any meaningful project in Igbo land. They can’t destroy the Igbo. They tried it for three years and it did not work. The former Eastwon to break the solidarity that existed in the region but we are still in tandem with the Efik, Ibibio and other tribes that made up the former Eastern region. The Igbo should not take that bait from a party that promised so many things and did nothing. What is the assurance that they will be committed to the promise when they are re-elected? That is even the time Buhari will tell the Igbo to go to hell because he will not be seeking re-election. Traditional rulers erred by giving Ochiloha title to Buhari “I am also critical of the traditional rulers that gave him the title of Ochilioha of Ndigbo. They cheapened themselves with that action because the Igbo don’t even have a common title. For instance, if the Obi of Onitsha decides to give him a title, such title is for Onitsha and not for the entire Igbo. Even though Ebonyi State governor has endorsed him for a second term, Buhari cannot win in the Southeast. “When the President visited the Southeast, I made a statement on Urban Radio where I hailed him for coming. I told him that we love him but are being careful of the Greek Gift he brought. APC promised change but they have spent three years blaming Jonathan and PDP. Buhari said he belongs to nobody but we have seen where he belongs to by the virtue of the appointments he has made. The APC thinks we have forgotten the promises they made. They cannot be trusted. They talked about restructuring in their manifesto but turned around to search for the meaning of restructuring.” No Igbo person will believe APC—Ohaneze Youth Council Also speaking, the Secretary-General of Ohaneze Youth Council, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said: “They are deceiving Ndigbo. Anybody, who believes them, is deceiving himself. Igbo man was online for SGF but they did not do eventually consider that. We all saw how Ogbonnaya Onu was schemed out. When the God of Ndigbo created a vacancy in that position, they did not appoint an Igbo person. APC cannot be relied on. We know their ways. And that is why we are resisting their deceptive moves. APC doesn’t even recognise the quota system in the Federal Character Principle. How can a party that did not give us our quota in appointments in line with the Federal Character Principle assist us in getting the presidency in 2023? What we need now is to come together through a proper political realignment.” APC should not be trusted in any election—Ezeife A former governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife said: “APC should not be reckoned with in any presidential election whether it is 2019 or 2023. Igbo people have made up their minds. When we see Buhari and the list of candidates running for the presidency we will know what to do. As it is now, it doesn’t appear he will be a candidoesn’t appear he will be a candidate. Why are they making noise about it? “The issue is that they have blown their chances. They have no chance of producing the President again unless through rigging.’’ Ndigbo are wise, would be wiser in 2019—Ohaneze Also, National Publicity Secretary of Ohaneze, Mr. Uche Okpaga said: “The statement is puerile and pedestrian. There is no substitution for good governance. Ndigbo will vote according to their conscience. We have stated timelessly that Igbo Presidency without restructuring is not feasible. The performance of the government will be the yardstick, not political statements made to hoodwink the people. Ndigbo are wise and would be wiser in 2019” Buhari not in a position to handover power in 2023—Chekwas Okorie National Chairman of United Progressive Party, UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie said: “Those making the call and promises can go and say that to the Marines. President Buhari ran for the presidency four times consecutively before he got it without waiting for any party to zone it to his zone. The Ohanaeze people and Igbo APC leaders that said that Igbo will get the presidency in 2023 after supporting Buhari, missed it. I was very ashamed of that comment from an Ohanaeze led by an erudite politician like Chief John Nnia Nwodo. “ Whatever President Buhari thinks he can offer, there is no chance for him to come back in 2019. He is a one-term President. The Consensus in Nigeria now is the need for restructuring and true federalism. Since Buhari is not in support of what most Nigerians want, he is not in a position to be re-elected in 2019. He is not even in a position to hand over power to anyone in 2023. “Dr Paul Unongo at the Zik lecture in Lagos urged Igbo people to step forward and contest election in 2019 and not wait for anybody to zone the presidency to them. That is what the Igbo should do and stop embarrassing themselves in Nigeria’s political arena with naive comments.” LET’S WAIT FOR A CONCRETE PROMISE – UZODIMMA. I know that Igbos are looking forward to producing the next Nigerian President after the North has completed its tenure. However, the question whether Igbos will support President Buhari for Presidency in 2019 if he promises to support the Igbos for the Presidency in 2023 is speculative. To the best of my knowledge, President Buhari has not made any such promise or commitment. The much I know of the President is that he is a man of integrity and he is a very honest man, if he makes a promise or commitment he is bound to keep it. But like I said, I am unaware that he has made any promise in that direction so there is actually nothing to react to. There is no need to be speculative. I am sure that when there is a concrete proposal on ground, we can react to it. For now, there is nothing on ground. So all I can say is that if we ever get to that bridge, we will know how to cross it. The shortest distance to Igbo presidency is APC—Igbokwe The Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, however, disagreed with those, who dismissed his party’s promise to Ndigbo, saying that supporting the APC in 2019 was the only way to get Igbo presidency. He said: ‘’Supporting APC in 2019 to get Igbo presidency is the way to go. I have been preaching and talking about it. And this is the time for it. If our people must stop complaining about marginalization, this is the time to play politics. For other people to vote Ndigbo, they must vote for APC. ‘’We need to build the connection and the time is now. No Igbo man has ruled this country since Aguiyi Ironsi led regime. Since that time, no Igbo man has played good politics. We should not miss this opportunity. ‘’Politics is a serious game. If the Igbo do not play politics well, they will die. The shortest distance to Igbo presidency is APC. By 2023, a northerner, President Buhari would have completed his eight years and an Igbo man will easily come in. ‘’APC will zone the presidency to the Southeast. We need to give the Igbo a sense of belonging. Every group is important, especially the three ethnic groups. We (Igbo) marginalized ourselves. When in 2009, Jonathan took over, we expected him to step down by 2011, but he did not. Our people went behind and supported him and he won, which made the North not to complete their tenure. APC is the epicentre of Igbo politics.’’ Similarly, the Chairman of Southeast caucus of Inter-party Advisory Council, IPAC, Chief Emeka Okafor, said: ‘’It is a good thing to support him if he sacks all those questionable characters in his cabinet. He needs our support. He has to do something serious to get the support of Ndigbo. We are ready to support him but he has to work hard to convince us. Elder statesman, Chief Ben Ezeibe, said “He has seen that he cannot move forward without Igbo people. But our people should be careful not to betray the trust the President has in them. They should not be after what they will grab individually in the short run.’’
