Apostle Johnson Suleman, Senior
Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, has called on the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led Federal Government to bury the idea of the proposed Ruga farm
settlement programme.
Suleman gave the call while
commending the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government for suspending
the programme.
In a tweet, the clergyman wrote:
“God bless the federal government for this decision to suspend RUGA.
“I hope they not only suspend but
bury the idea..God bless you.”
Buhari is said to have suspended
the Ruga programme pending further notice.
RUGA settlement scheme was an
idea designed to stem the tide of herdsmen/farmers clashes in parts of the
country.
But some states affected and
members of the public understood it as another form of the earlier proposed
cattle colony by the federal government, hence kicked against it.
However, a source close to the
presidency hinted newsmen on Wednesday, that Buhari may have resolved to
suspend the scheme till further consultations.
The source said, after
consultations with stakeholders, Buhari had resolved to put away the idea for a
thorough review and well-accepted approach to the constant clashes between
herdsmen and farmers.
