Don't Impose Cattle Ranches on Nigerians, PDP Warns Presidency | CNR

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the FederalGovernment to exercise caution over its plan to establish cattle ranches in some parts of the country and hold enough consultations, so as not to escalate the same problems it claims to be addressing.


The party noted that the situation has already generated discordant tunes and acrimony among major stakeholders, groups and states across the country, particularly relating to issues of funding and land ownership.

In a statement on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the leading opposition party expressed worry over "lack of adequate consultations by the Federal Government resulting in the disagreements that have trailed the plan, especially along ethnic divides".

The party called on the Federal Government to get its acts together and follow all due processes, as stipulated by the laws and 1999 constitution (as amended) regarding this issue, in order to eliminate the current disagreements being generated.

The PDP said the nation had witnessed enough disagreements, violence and bloodletting, as such all measures must be put in place to avert fresh crisis.
