Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Friday, criticised the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , for ignoring the calls to ban open grazing and approving N6.5bn for ranching in his home state of Katsina.

He said, “I also read somewhere that Mr. President approved N6.5bn for ranching in Katsina State. What kind of hypocrisy is this? Are we a serious country at all?” “If Mr President would say the Attorney General should ensure that we do open grazing in Nigeria, and the same President is encouraging ranching in Katsina State, where he comes from, that is certainly laughable and hypocritical.

According to him, the prohibition of open grazing is the only thing that will help the country, despite the provision for ranching.
