THE Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday, kicked against the proposal by Myetti Allah for the creation of grazing reserves and nomadic ministry, describing the demand as unrealistic.
In a statement in Abakaliki, the Secretary General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, noted that creation of ministry of nomadic affairs would amount to duplicating duties of the Ministry of Education, as well as that of Humanitarian Affairs, insisting there is no need for such.
Isiguzoro maintained that the use of threats of violence by Myetti Allah to give conditions for peace shows that the Fulani organisation indirectly indicted itself for being responsible for the crisis associated with farmers and herders across the country.
The statement reads: “Ohanaeze has faulted resolutions of Myeitti Allah for creation of grazing reserves and nomadic ministry as unreasonable, unrealistic, and hallucinations of daydreamers, because cattle businesses all over the world remain an individual enterprise like other people who are in businesses of garments, mechanics and food vendors.
“Ndigbo has responded that the perceived demands for 415 grazing reserves across the country have sinister and wicked motives aimed at fuelling disintegration of the country, and land grabbing against indigenous people is a threat to national security and peace.”
