Group gives Akeredolu one month to send anti-grazing bill to Assembly

Peter Dada, Akure

A group of youths in Ondo State has issued one month ultimatum to the state governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, to send anti-grazing bill to the Ondo State House of Assembly.

The group under the auspices of the Council of Concerned Youths of Nigeria said there was a need for the governor to be proactive about the issue of security of lives and property of the people of the state, saying Fulani herdsmen had turned to terrors in the rural areas of the state, particularly in the Ondo South Senatorial District.

The group, in a statement issued on Tuesday by its President, Mr. Olumide Akinrinlola, said the ultimatum was necessary in the light of the increasing trends of herdmen’s killings in the state, especially in the southern senatorial district.

The group threatened to embark on a massive protest that would lead to blocking of the Lagos /Ore/Benin Expressway if the government failed to meet the ultimatum.

It lamented that the herdsmen attacks were now frequent such that people were scared of going to their farms while those who were bold to go, could only do so in groups.

The statement said, “The state government should prepare a bill to be sent to the state House of Assembly for consideration against the indiscriminate grazing of cattle on our farmlands to curtail this widespread evil by the herdsmen in Ondo State.”

“We will embark on a mega protest on the Lagos-Benin Expressway in Ore and paralyse vehicular activities on that road.

“We will ensure no vehicle coming from the East, South-South or from Lagos or those going to Akure be allowed to drive through if the state government does nothing after the expiration of one month notice counting from now (Monday).”

The group also called on government to immediately fish out the herdsmen responsible for the killings and recent rape of a grandmother, Victoria Akinseye in Ore town.

However, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Akeredolu, Mr. Segun Ajiboye, said government was constantly meeting with all the security agencies in the state to find a lasting solution to the problem

The Hausa fulani are indirectly trying to use grazing bill to acquire lands for themselves in every state to further solidify their presence everywhere in Nigeria. Giving them lands is like giving them easy access to slit your throats at night. As soon as the bill is allowed, they will come in their numbers to claim their future permanent territory

Yoruba leaders are so weak, short sighted and selfish. The sophisticated slogan is merely a face saving excuse.
Btw, this also applies to all southern governors.

My Guys, make Una face the Bloody Herdsmen and leave the road alone. As a matter of fact, those Herdsmen some times block that express road and Rob innocent victims when ever they are short of cash, so don't be like them. Confront Them.
