Mike Ozekhome, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), says it’s
immoral and unconstitutional to kick against the decision of the southern
governors to ban open grazing.
The governors who met in Asaba, Delta state capital, had
said the decision was taken as part of efforts to improve security in the
region.
Ahmad Lawan, president of the senate had faulted the
decision of the governors.
But in a statement on Monday, Ozekhome asked why “some
northern elites are worried” by the governors’ decision.
“The sudden unexpected kick by some northern elites against
the patriotic resolutions passed last week at a meeting held in Asaba by the 17
southern governors of Nigeria is quite worrisome, but definitely uncalled for,”
he said.
“The kick is illegal, unconstitutional and even immoral.
“I have since termed the Asaba resolutions, the ‘ACCORD
CONCORDIALE’
“The sudden hoopla and ruckus seem to suggest that these few
vocal elements are suddenly scared of certain manifold effects that the
unanimous resolutions by the APC, PDP, Benin, Anioma, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw,
Ikwerre, Ibibio and Efik leading lights may throw up.
“Is the senate president, senator Ahmad Lawan, aware and
conscious of the enormity of the functions and responsibilities of his revered
office as the head of one of the three arms of government, and the number 3
citizen of Nigeria?
“Can he not help to salvage this drifting, compassless
nation by simply dusting up the over 600 recommendations of the 2014 National
Conference mutually agreed up and rolled out after 6 months of rigorous
deliberations, by the 492 delegate-conferees drawn from all strata, segments,
professions and classes, of the Nigerian Nation and ethnic nationalities from
across Nigeria?”
