The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has rejected the Vice President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo-led panel that should find lasting solution to clashes between herders
and their host communities mainly in Benue and Taraba.
The group strongly believes the
Osinbajo-led committee on killings by herdsmen would not produce the desired
result with the inclusion of Taraba’s Ishaku and Samuel Ortom of Benue.
North East zonal Chairman of the
Miyetti Allah, Alhaji Mafindi Danburam, told Punch that the two governors, who
have promulgated “military decrees” in their states, would influence other
members of the committee .
He pointed out that the ban on
open grazing was anti-Fulani.
Danburam said, “The committee
would not produce the desired result with the inclusion of Governors Darius
Ishaku and Samuel Ortom of Benue.
“The two governors, who have
promulgated military decrees in their states , will make attempt to influence
other members of the committee . The ban on open grazing is anti-Fulani.
“I want to tell you that I am
disappointed completely in this present administration because this crisis has
been happening for the past three years and the Federal Government did nothing
to stop it.”
