Ohanaeze Flays FG’s Fulani Settlement Plans
Ohanaeze Ndigbo has described as a slip into anarchy plans by the Federal Government to set up Fulani settlements in Benue State against the express provisions of the anti-open grazing law of the state.
While calling on the Federal Government to respect the inherent powers of the Benue State Government to make its own laws, the group in a statement issued on Thursday called on the Federal Government to tread with caution on the issue.
President-General of Ohanaze, Chief Nnia Nwodo in a statement said:
“The Federal government violation of provisions of our constitution on the administration of land in Nigeria, its total violation of valid laws made by Benue State Government in accordance with her inherent powers under our constitution and its violations of extant court judgment on grazing and ranching is a clear pointer to anarchy.
“When respect for the rule of law is jettisoned, and sheer power, religious bigotry and nepotism displayed, an inevitable resort to self help and anarchy is being courted. Our country is sliding into avoidable anarchy and doom!”
