Governor of Ebonyi State and the
Chairman, Southeast Governors Forum, Dave Umahi has reiterated the ban on open
grazing in the region.
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had at the weekend given the Governors in
the region seven days to join their South West counterparts in banning open
grazing.
But the Governor, while reacting
to Kanu’s ultimatum, disclosed that the Governors did not just stop at banning
open grazing but also restricted the movement of cattle by foot.
Umahi spoke on Monday during the
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders meeting in Abakaliki, the
state capital.
“Governors of South East have
been calling on our leaders to speak out on the security of the zone and unity
of Nigeria,” he said.
“I read on paper where someone
said he was giving Governors of South East 7-days to ban open grazing.
“The Governors of southeast had
banned open grazing and movement of cows by foot into South East, in each of
States of the South East, we are managing ourselves well, what we discuss with
the herdsmen is the system in place for a long time,” he said.
