Regional socio-political and cultural groups across Nigeria have thrown their weights behind resolutions reached by Southern governors in Asaba, Delta State, on Tuesday, especially as it relates to the ban on open grazing.
The groups include Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the South-East, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, in the North, Afenifere in the South-West, the pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, in the South-South geo-political zones.
Similarly, Senators and Members of the House of Representatives from the Southern part of the country also backed the resolutions of the governors.
It would be recalled that the 17 governors from the South had raised a 10-point solution to the nation’s security problems, one of which was the banning of open grazing of cattle in the southern part of the country.
Supporting the Governors in their action, Ohanaeze Ndigbo commended them for coming together to tackle raging issues about to tear the country apart.
Ohanaeze, particularly, praised the governors for restating the decision of states to ban open grazing and urged that appropriate laws be enacted to give legal teeth to the pronouncement.
