PRESS RELEASE by THE NATIONAL PUBLICITY SEC, OHANAEZE NDIGBO WORLDWIDE YOUTH WING

OHANEZE NDIGBO! IGWE BU IKE!!!!!


WE WILL RESIST IMPOSITION OF CATTLE COLONY IN IGBO LAND - OHANEZE NDIGBO YOUTH WING fumes....


Despite the overwhelming rejection to create a CATTLE COLONY by the majority of NDIGBO, "President Mohammadu Buhari, has approved the recommendation of a committee with dispatch 368 grazing sites across 25 states, vied a press release by Femi Adesina, on August 19th, 2021


It is a well known fact that Cattle rearing is a personal enterprise, like the business of motor spare parts. 


Nigeria as a pluralistic society is at a critical juncture, ordinarily, one would have expected Mr President, to be emotionally sensitive and responsive to the yeaninngs and aspirations of each component units.


NDIGBO, are agrarian people and most of our rural dwellers are predominantly farmers. 


It is an invitation for anarchy to insist on creating a CATTLE COLONY,as events over the past years, has left trails of blood and sorrow over the illegal activities of these so-called Fulani pastoralists across the length and width of our nation. 


The question remains; WHEN DID CATTLE HERDING BECAME A NATIONAL POLICY?  


We are aware that most Southern States has promulgated an act prohibiting open grazen and in which the 1976 Land Use Act, vested "exclusive"powers to the state government. 


We strongly condemn any attempt to impose on us CATTLE COLONY against our wish.


Therefore, we call on President Mohammadu Buhari, to rescind his decision on this obnoxious policy.


Signed
