I won't sign anti-open grazing law, herdsmen are my brothers - Gov Ayade

Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State has explained why he would not sign the anti-open grazing law, like other Southern states.

The governor, who described herdsmen as his brothers, warned that if such laws fail to consider the concerns of herders and farmers, it may lead to anarchy and endanger the entire country. “You have a responsibility as an educated person. We sit in the office and that’s why even though certain governors have made it clear that governors must pass the anti-open grazing law, I have not because I’ve found a solution to it.

“So, if I have a brother from Yobe state in a semi-arid condition with no grass and having no money to do irrigation to sustain his pasture, will I make his business illegitimate, shut him down and close him from survival? That is insensitive. What I think is anarchy, a deliberate invitation to war. That is inviting the nation into war.”

With this APC is gone

U go soon get sense

Man is lobbying to be president 😂😂

Yes ,until u leave office den Dey kill some1 close 2 u.den u’l start reasoning like a Nigerian whom d system has failed.

These is a strong statement from one of the many in the south south who have not been brainwashed and radicalized by the ethnic bigotry messages and fabricated herdsmen narrative of the IPOB militants activist,who are using ethnic bigotry to convert d SE youths into militants
