Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom says the suspension of Ruga settlements plan by the Federal Government is
victory for all peace loving Nigerians.
The governor said this in a
statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase.
The Governor stated that the
rejection of the Ruga settlement model was not personal but rather a struggle
by the people of the country against impunity and injustice.
Governor Ortom commended
President Muhammadu Buhari for heeding the call of the people for the
suspension of the Ruga settlement patterns.
He said the decision to suspend
the Ruga programme shows that President Buhari “has heard the voices of
majority of Nigerians on the matter.”
He states that truth has
prevailed on the Ruga issue, citing the Bible book of John 8: 32 which says,
“you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”
Governor Ortom urges the Federal
Government to take a step further to encourage pastoralists and other livestock
owners to embrace ranching as the best model of animal husbandry.
