Abia State senator, Eyinnaya Abaribe, has called on the Committee on Rules and Business of the Senate to clarify issues on the existence of a Grazing Reserve Commission bill in the assembly.
Mr. Abaribe made the call at plenary on Thursday under a point of order.
He said he had sought clarification from the clerk of the Senate and confirmed that there was no such bill contrary to reports in the media.
Mr. Abaribe said he had received so many calls on the issue and had been accused by some of his constituents of being an absentee senator when the said the bill was not before the Senate.
“I have gotten more than 1,000 calls and this has to do with something called the Grazing Reserve Commission Bill.
“When I asked where is the information coming from, they said the information is coming from the social media.
“Mr President the last time a Grazing Reserve Commission Bill came to this Senate was in the 7th Senate and was proposed by Sen. (Zainab) Kure who is no longer in the Senate.
“So the reason why I am making this personal explanation is so that my constituents in Abia South will know that there is no such bill called Grazing Reserve Commission Bill before this Senate.

“I have taken time to ask the clerk and every other person to say where is this bill that has passed second reading and they said they also are in confusion, they have never seen such thing,” he said.
The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, who was presiding at the time, noted the observation of the senator.
Mr. Saraki later left for the Code of Conduct Tribunal for continuation of his trial and the Deputy President, Chief Ike Ekwerenmadu, took over proceedings.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the online media have been awash with reports that a Grazing Reserve Bill is before the Senate and has passed second reading.
According to the reports, the bill seeks to establish a commission which will take land in any part of Nigeria for use as grazing reserve. (NAN)

IPOB youths lying since the coming of Lai muhammed.

Okay
Perhaps, APC led FG want to test peoples stand before they will raise the issue of the grazing reserve again.
Of course, it's clear that the great majority of Nigerians are against the bill.

Just Admit you've been part of Rumour mongers
inciting the public on a Non existing bill.

gs

So what's the fuss all about for a while now. I think the media speculations are just too much these days

A sign of relief..thank God...imagin sharing your land with some uncivilize cattle herders that calls themselves Fulanis..who would rather treasure thier cattle to feed over thier thier fellow human being to live in peace..God forbid ,not in our life time and the life time of our children

Very good.. It's good we raised the alarm because via a reliable source, FG was proposing this bill as a solution to rampaging Fulani animals.. Majority of the masses vehemently rejected this proposal via social media. So FG should look for another solution.

APC failed attempt at lies trials..

Liar Mohammed used this one to run a taste of the microphone..

Like, tasting 1 2 3...

All I see is people trying to cover their tracks,it is good for them to know that gone are the days that the represented don't know what the representatives are doing.those saying that the bill is not Valid or not in existence should remember what Gov.mimiko said about the issue
