‘South East Has No Land For Grazing Reserves’ – Governor Ikpeazu Rejects Proposed Bill
The Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie
Ikpeazu has weighed in on the controversial National Grazing Reserves
Bill currently undergoing debate at the Nigerian National Assembly.
Speaking on Friday, May 6, 2016, the
governor said that any plan to create a grazing reserves for the Fulani
herdsmen will be frustrated in the entire South East because there is
not sufficient land space in the zone for such projects.
Ikpeazu made this disclosure when
he appeared on the Magic 102.9FM Aba flagship programme “People and
Politics”. He stressed that there is enough land space in Northern
Nigeria for grazing reserves and they should be located in the North.
“We don’t need grazing reserves in the
South-East, because we don’t have land space for it. There are enough
land in the north, so let have grazing reserves there,” Ikpeazu said.
Fulani militia, the armed wing of the
herdsmen, have been the hot topic for the past two weeks after carrying
out acts of genocide against Nzimo community in Enugu State last week.
Communities in the South East, South South, and South West have ordered
Fulani herdsmen to leave their territories.
