Open Grazing Ban: It’s Most Unfortunate That As SAN You Can’t Distill Issues – Akeredolu Mocks AGF Malami
Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has taken a swipe at the Attorney General to Government of the Federation, AGF Abubakar Malami over his comment on ban of open grazing in Southern Nigeria.
BIGPENNGR reports the governor expressed his disappointment about the minister’s comment in a statement he issued on Thursday.
It is most unfortunate that the AGF is unable to distill issues as expected of a Senior Advocate. Nothing can be more disconcerting. This outburst should, ordinarily, not elicit response from reasonable people who know the distinction between a legitimate business that is not in anyway injurious and a certain predilection for anarchy. Clinging to an anachronistic model of animal husbandry, which is evidently injurious to harmonious relationship between the herders and the farmers as well as the local populace, is wicked and arrogant.
Comparing this anachronism, which has led to loss of lives, farmlands and property, and engendered untold hardship on the host communities, with buying and selling of auto parts is not only strange. It, annoyingly, betrays a terrible mindset.
Mr Malami is advised to approach the court to challenge the legality of the Laws of the respective States baning open grazing and decision of the Southern Governor Forum taken in the interest of their people. We shall be most willing to meet him in Court.
The decision to ban open grazing stays. It will be enforced with vigour.
