Benue Governor Samuel Ortom has threatened to sue President Muhammadu Buhari if he insisted on going forward with open grazing or grazing reserves policy in the country.
Ortom, who spoke with journalists after arriving Makurdi from Asaba, and maintained that under his-administration, the state would not accept open grazing.
The Governor, while insisting that the nation’s Constitution supercedes the Northern Nigeria Law that provided for grazing reserves, noting that the state would not accept the Grazing Reserve Policy, rather would rather stand with the National Livestock Transformation Programme.
Ortom, who pondered why the President Buhari has continued to insist on open grazing affirmed that the state would not concede any land for the policy, noting that such lands do not even exist.
