The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has raised the alarm that the Federal Government is still insisting on the plan to take over land through the introduction of National Grazing Reserves Council Bill.
In a statement on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Terver Akase, the governor described the bill as “a fang of impunity, subjugation and a deeply-rooted conquest agenda against Nigerians.”
He called on members of the National Assembly to reject the bill and any other surreptitious attempt to mock millions of innocent Nigerians who have fallen victim to the “occupation agenda”.
The statement read in part, “Governor Ortom finds it curious that since 2016, the Presidency has sent the Grazing Reserves Bill to the National Assembly, bearing different names, and despite the public outcry, it is not giving up the idea of having the bill passed.
