Governors and leaders of some key socio-cultural organisations in the southern part of the country have rejected the proposed plan by the Federal Government to establish cattle colonies in all the states of the federation.

They described the arrangement as a ploy to forcefully snatch lands for the use of Fulani armed militia who, according to them, will sooner than later, unleash terror on their host communities.

They also warned state governments not to be naïve in embracing the proposal which they alleged was aimed at creating a large expanse of land for a group of terrorists.

It’s a strange, deceptive policy – Ebonyi Gov

The Ebonyi State Government described the proposed cattle colony as a strange and deceptive concept designed to dispossess states of their treasure.

It therefore advocated the adoption of a ranching system as a panacea for curbing the incessant clashes between herdsmen and farmers across the country.

Governor David Umahi, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Emmanuel Uzor, said, “The proposed cattle colony is strange to the state government because it is a deceptive arrangement to dispossess us of our precious lands.”


Ekiti, Abia, Imo also reject cattle colonies

Also. Governors Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and the leadership of the Imo State House of Assembly have ruled out any plan to release land for the proposed cattle colonies.

Fayose, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said, Ekiti will not surrender its land for any cattle colonies.

He said, “We don’t give ponds to fish farmers; government does not give pens to poultry farmers, and does not give shops to traders because they are all businessmen.

“A cattle breeder should get a cattle ranch because he is a businessman. We will not surrender our land for any cattle colony.”

Ikpeazu, who also spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Enyinnaya Appolos, said the state would reject plans to establish “any Fulani colony in Abia State.”

He said, “We reject any plan to establish cattle colonies for herdsmen in Abia State. We don’t have enough land for our agricultural activities and our people want more land to farm.”

life and it's miseries let me see how Nigeria will be after 2019 waiting patiently for that messiah

Its a good thing that Fayose is not seeking another term.
That will give him the time he needs to enter the forest and provide the state with enough bush meets

Who are the 16 who volunteered for this colony. All the states should give a statement say yes no or considering it.

This is a nice development...

Wise decision from the PDP governors, i taught Buhari is the change so why will APC governors reject an offer from there boss in Aso rock? These Apc governors knows that their master has noting good to offer but what can they do

For your mind, only Fulani Sell Cow

Even APC governors are running away from their monsterous master interest.

Only herdsmen will not like this

My brotha, the SW is in real deep shit with these head slammers amongst us, aswear. To be fair not all of them are, but they seem to be more in line with these aboki head-slammers, who ironically dont regard them as true moslems. Is that not stupidity with a huge mix of madness? Its a real baffler....

Yoruba People also have cow, but they have ranches where they feed them with grasses,

At least I've seen them in their ranches, i don't know why it's difficult for the fulani to follow their example

So as a Yoruba muslim, you prefer Fulani people to take over your ancestral land because of Arab religion you practise together with them.Even Iraq, Kuwait and Iran that practice the same arab religion is fighting each other to protect their heritage.

That is not their agenda, the Fulani's are rich and can afford ranching, with the suggestion for colonies isnt it clear that their agenda is territorial expansion which they always do through jihad as they are doing now. unfortunately they are still primitive in this modern time, when everybody can see through their agenda.

What has religion go to do with this?

By the way, you that you are not a muslim, what did you and your Biafra ibop fraudstar leader nnamdi kanu do when the same herdsmen murdered people in your ancestral land - and they are still there doing their business.

Go and remove the log in your eyes first b4 you come and check the speck in our eyes.

Correct!!
This is the issue we must insist on. Why will farmers suffer for months only to be destroyed by cows. Build ranches for the cows irrespective of who owns them.

don't mind those flat head baggers.

fayose is right, what is special about Fulani, they are doing business they should adopt ranching, its safe for the cow and the advanced cow (Fulani) some of this cows are even bitten by snakes sometimes

Only a blind Yoruba Christian will not see what you Yoruba muslims are up to, you side with the caliphate in all issues even at the detriment of your Christian brothers. For you, religion comes first before tribe.

So sad

I wonder what the Yoruba Muslims stand to gain, book haram they will not condemn, Fulani killings they are also quiet, worst of them all, the fulanis doesn't consider them Muslims, what a foolishness
