Ortom Backs Southern Governors On Anti-Grazing Laws, Rotational Presidency by HonNL: 5:37pm On Jul 06, 2021
GOV ORTOM BACKS SOUTHERN GOVERNORS OVER ANTI-OPEN GRAZING LAWS, ROTATIONAL PRESIDENCY

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom describes the decision of Southern Governors Forum to enact laws to ban open grazing of livestock in the region as a bold and patriotic move that will bring to an end the lingering crisis caused by armed herdsmen.

The Governor also lauds his counterparts in Southern Nigeria for backing their May 11 Asaba declaration against open grazing with the resolve to legally prohibit nomadic cattle rearing; a resolution which conforms with the global best practice of animal husbandry.

He also commends the Southern Governors Forum for their position on rotation of the Presidency between the north and south, beginning from 2023.

Governor Ortom believes that only equity, fairness and justice can strengthen the unity of Nigeria, give all citizens a sense of belonging and reduce tensions across the country.

The Governor re-echoes his call on the Federal Government to respect the 1999 Constitution (as amended) regarding fundamental human rights, the rule of law and federal character.

He restates his commitment to speaking out against injustice and quotes Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr who stated that
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Governor Ortom reaffirms his belief in Nigeria’s unity and expresses optimism that the country will overcome its current challenges and emerge stronger as a great nation.

Benue in the bag for the south. Kwara, Plateau, Taraba and Kaduna can be evenly divided. As it stands, a candidate with a United southern support will easily defeat a core north candidate.

Gov Ortom should join Southern Governors forum. Benue are too sane to be part of the North

The North has gone mad, either promoting terrorists or promoting bandits

The rules of the southern governors forum should be amended to offer the middle belt leaders a chance to also join if willing, but they should have observer status for now and not make decisions or decisions that affect them be agreed and ratified by the core southern states.

It’s not enough.

Why can’t he join the Southern Governors forum? What does Benue stand to gain from aligning with the useless north who now eats there own grass due to abundance of food?

Benue State will never achieve anything until they cut of ties with the North and align with the progressive and peaceful South.

Middle belt states will be torn between north and south.

Although next election is not a North vs South affair, it will be PDP SE candidate vs APC SW candidate.


This I have seen!

Taraba needs to liaise with the South as well. If Kwara and Plateau had serious governors, they ought to do the same.
