Reno Omokri, former aide to
ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has opined that states that approved cattle
colony proposed by federal government will face the consequences.
Omokri on Saturday revealed that
Fulani herdsmen will keep requesting for more piece of land once cattle colony
is approved.
According to him, this will lead
to increase in population of herdsmen.
He tweeted, “Here is what will
happen to any state that allows cattle colonies. They will take the land you
give them. They will increase in population. They will appoint a king. They
will ask for more land. You will say no. Then at that point you will know the
real meaning of the word colony.”
So far, Sixteen Nigerian states
have agreed to establishcattle colonies proposed by the Minister of Agriculture
and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh as a solution to the incessant herdsmen
crisis.
It was gathered that the 16
states, all in the North, have volunteered land for the establishment of cattle
colonies in their domain while all the 17 states of Southern Nigeria have
refused to volunteer land for colonies.
