Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has threatened legal action against President Muhammadu Buhari if he decides to implement the recommendations of a committee that reviewed the Grazing Reserve Policy.But the move has been criticised by Southern state governors.
Several southern groups, including Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere; Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze; and the Pan Niger Delta Forum, have also condemned the move. According to him, the Constitution of Nigeria supersedes the Northern Nigeria Law that made provisions for grazing reserves.
He said, “The truth is that if the entire country had accepted ranching, then why is Mr President insisting on open grazing when there is no land for such.
