Buhari Pushing 1964 Northern Nigeria Decree On Cow Grazing Route On Nigeria—Senate Spokesman

Ajibola Basiru, spokesman for the Senate, says there is no grazing-route law in Nigeria.

Basiru said this following the statement of the President on the farmer-herder crisis.

The President while fielding questions in an interview with Arise Television on Thursday, said: “What I did was ask him (AGF) to go and dig the gazette of the first republic when people were obeying laws.

“There were cattle routes and grazing areas. Cattle routes were for when they (herders) are moving up country, north to south or east to west, they had to go through there.”

But speaking with The PUNCH, Basiru said the gazette that Buhari was referring to was a product of a decree promulgated in northern Nigeria in the 1960s, adding that the Land Use Act recognised by the constitution has rendered it ineffective.

“Nigerians should be concerned over whether the Nigerian president is actually getting the correct legal advice from his attorney-general and the legal team,” the senator said.

“As far as I am concerned, as a legal practitioner, there is nothing like grazing routes or grazing reserve law, in the laws of the federation of Nigeria. There is nothing like that.

“There is no federal legislation that the president can implement over such matter. The executive powers of the president merely rely on the powers of the National Assembly to make laws, when you look at Section 5 of the constitution.

“Any area where the National Assembly cannot make laws, and there is no express grants of powers to the president under the constitution, a purported exercise of power by the president in that regard, will be null and void because it is inconsistent with the constitution by section 1(3) of the 1999 constitution.

“I am aware that there is a northern Nigerian law on reserve and grazing routes which was promulgated by a 1964 decree by the premier of the defunct northern Nigeria region.”

The legislator said there is no way a decree for Northern Nigeria will be implemented as a federal law.

“It is not a federal law unless the legal adviser to Mr President is equating a northern Nigeria law, which is not applicable in the west, mid-west, and eastern region or in anywhere in the southern part of Nigeria, to be a federal or a Nigerian law,” he said.

“The president does not have the power to implement that law because it is not a federal law. He can only implement federal legislation made by the National Assembly or deemed to have been made by the National Assembly.

“The grazing routes law is not a National Assembly law, so there is nothing for the president to implement. It is regrettable that the president has not been properly advised by his attorney-general and the legal team.

Southerners should also push for 1963 regional and fiscal autonomy

Mumu attorney general

It's clear Buhari and co has an agenda against other tribes of Nigeria

Malami is the most terrible Attorney General we don have in Nigeria.

Buhari is not open to new ideas because he believes he knows everything.
I wonder why APC governors have not been able to talk to him about the negative consequences of open grazing

Buhari is cow

He knows that his time is very short so he wants to achieve all his evil intentions before leaving office
But God will disappoint him . Thank God i never voted for him those that are cursed are the ones who voted
Him into power for selfish reasons.
Buhari has killed any probabilty of a fulani man declaring for 2023.

We'll see how the bloody impostor will carve out lands for genocidal murderers and foreign killers in Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria.
Bloody fulani terrorist regime.

Na Rubber stamp Senate una b, U will find a way to make it work for him

The Useless One wants to force grazing routes of 1964 on Nigerians in 2021 but won't heed calls to restructure the country to how regions worked back then

Rubberstamp Lawan will remove this man as Senate spokesman for countering their daddy Buhari.

Just watch.

He doesn't believe in restructuring but believes an archaic means of grazing should continue.

Party loyalty is blinding some people from seeing that Buhari is a Fulani supremacist. He priotise the ethnic jingoism and parasitism of his kinsmen more than the collective and posterity interest of the nation.

Ahmed Lawal would have openly rubber stamped this devilish grazing route being promoted by Buhari's presidency if it is a federal law.

We warned y'all he will take Nigeria 50 years backwards

Too bad when you allow ethnic and religious sentiments becloud your sense of judgement as a leader of a secular society.

The comment section of this thread will compose 90% of Lamidi KANU's boys.
They keep masturbating on any thread that involve Buhari

And yet some people would always wanna tackle me each time I refer to this man as a PRE-HISTORIC human being!!

How can other nations be thinking about growth in techs advancements and urban development....yet all this Stone age man be thinking is creating routes for cows!! Nna look at oo!!...

People of the south in general better reject this absurd and obsolete move oo!!....well I trust one man(Mr Aketi) who's already showing good sign of " WE NO GO GREE"! attitude...

K

Buhari's government has been a disaster!
He should resign now!!

Bubu is a coooooowwwwwwww......

What do you expect from a man who lives, breathe and dream cows?

Of course Buhari is not getting the right advice from people around him. There should be a BIG question mark on Malami's degree; who signed his results and graduated him from the University and the Law School?

Which brings us to the question of " who gave the president such a redundant legal advice?".



This can only come from an Arabic lawyer who got the position of an attorney general through quota system.


It's just sad that a country with the brightest brains has dunces and intellectually unsound people in very sensitive positions,hence we have found ourselves back in the economic situation of the 80s.

Buhari is an old incompetent monkey who is not capable of running a local government not to talk of a state. Iranu

You voted 'someone that shall not be named' at 21 years old, by 2023 you will be 28 years. Continue.

If you like vote old cargos like the drug baron with no vision(and can not even do something about the bad occurences in his city of residence) you will regret it.

Your 30s will be wasted and at 40 you will have nothing to show for it.

Be warned.

Hope I didn't mention any name? I come in peace
