Publicity) on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>It maintained that the southern governors did not offer any solution to the farmers\/ herders crisis, which has bedevilled the nation for decades.<\/p>\n<p>The governors in a recent meeting in Asaba, Delta state, had resolved to ban open grazing, drawing pungent criticism from the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/05\/24\/just-in-buhari-meets-with-fayemi-buni-bello-in-aso-rock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Presidency<\/a> declared that the southern governors\u2019 stance has questionable constitutional legality given the right of citizens to enjoy the same rights and freedom as everyone else in all the states of the federation.<\/p>\n<p>It recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had already approved specific measures to bring the incessant farmers\/herders clashes to an end.<\/p>\n<p>The statement read: \u201cPresident Muhammadu Buhari has expressed a strong resolve to address the conflicts of herders and farmers in a sustained and lasting manner that should lead to the emergence of a permanent solution to the frequent clashes between them, as well as the associated problem of the gun-wielding \u2018killer herdsmen.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President had approved a number of specific measures to bring a permanent end to the frequent skirmishes as recommended by Alhaji Sabo Nanono, the Minister of Agriculture in a report he submitted and the President signed off on it back in April, well before the actions of the Southern Governors Forum which attempts to place a ban on open grazing and other acts of politicking intended by its signatories to demonstrate their power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very clear that there was no solution offered from their resolutions to the herder-farmer clashes that have been continuing in our country for generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the citizens of the southern states \u2013 indeed citizens of all states of Nigeria \u2013 have a right to expect their elected leaders and representatives to find answers to challenges of governance and rights, and not to wash their hands off hard choices by, instead, issuing bans that say: \u201cnot in my state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is equally true that their announcement is of questionable legality, given the Constitutional right of all Nigerians to enjoy the same rights and freedoms within every one of our 36 states (and FCT) \u2013 regardless of the state of their birth or residence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately, this declaration has been preempted, for whatever it is intended to achieve and Mr President, who has rightly been worried about these problems more than any other citizen in consultation with farmers and herders alike, commissioned and approved an actionable plan of rehabilitating grazing reserves in the states, starting with those that are truly committed to the solution and compliant with stated requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith veterinary clinics, water points for animals, and facilities for herders and their families including schooling \u2013 through these rehabilitated reserves, the Federal Government is making far-reaching and practical changes allowing for different communities to co-exist side-by-side: supporting farmers to till their fields, herders to rear their livestock and Nigerians everywhere to be safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire country is acutely aware of the strain the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on public finances, for both Federal and States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill, given the pressing urgency of addressing the perennial challenges, the federal funding for the project that has been delayed is now being partly unlocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActual work for the full actualisation of the modern reserve system in a few of the consenting states should take off in June.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidency has described Southern Governors Forum\u2019s recent ban on open grazing as an action of questionable legality, accusing the Governors of politicking with a serious security issues and an attempt at show of power.
