Ruga settlement anti-people, stop Gov. Lalong now – PDP charges Plateau Assembly
Following the Federal Government’s recent proposed Ruga farm settlements for herdsmen, the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Plateau State on Tuesday called on the State House of Assembly to urgently pass a resolution directing the State Governor to “totally reject this anti people’s programme”.
“This is because some States have come out with a clear and unambiguous position of total rejection of this unacceptable plans of the APC led government,” he explained. Akans further stated that, “Governor Simon Bako Lalong must listen to the cries of Plateau people, listen to the cries of traumatized victims of herdsmen in the state.
“We equally called on members of the State House of Assembly to as a matter of urgency past a resolution directing the state governor to totally reject this anti people’s programme that is against the people of your various constituencies inline with your Benue State counterparts.” “Remember that at one time we have gone far when some people created controversies by calling it colony. Again we have gone far under the leadership of Mr. Vice President and then we are hearing some other things.
