GRAZING RIGHTS CANNOT TROUNCE RIGHTS TO LIFE - AJIMOBI.

“This is the time to call a spade a spade. Those clamouring for creation of grazing zones across the country should have a rethink. It is against the Land Use Act; it is against the law of natural justice to seize people’s land to cater for someone’s cattle. 

Grazing zones could be created for those who are traditional cattle rearers in their areas. I’m not against that, but you cannot come here and tell me you want to occupy our land for grazing zones. The land exists in our respective states and as such, the rightful owners should decide what to do with them. 

Anybody outside this zone willing to rear cattle here will need to approach the state to buy the land and we offer what is available with rules. There is no free land for grazing zones. We need to take this firm position. It won’t happen.” - Governor Ajimobi of Oyo State.

Icheoku agrees with Governor Ajimobi and says the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If it were them, they will not tolerate such disruption of life and activities in their respective states. The Hausa/Fulanis of Nigeria are forcing down the throats of other Nigerians what they will not take themselves.
