Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has rejected plans by the federal government to establish "cattle colonies" for Fulani Herdsmen and their cows in Abia State.



In a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Enyinnaya Appolos, the Governor stated that Abia state will not cede any part of her territory to Fulani herdsman as colony for cattle.



According to Governor Ikpeazu; "we reject any plan to establish cattle colonies for herdsmen in Abia State.



“We don’t have enough land for our agricultural activities and our people want more land.



“Giving away any part of Abia land as a colony to herdsmen, wherever they may be from, will be most unjust and unfair treatment to Abia State and her people who are largely farmers.



“Such alien land occupation will also cause unrest and crisis that may grow beyond what we can handle when it happens, so the best thing I think we should do is to reject such plans so that those behind it will know that Abia State is not party to it."



Thank you.

Interesting.

Granting the terrorist cattle colony is like giving them a country inside a state. This will be suicidal

Governor ikpeazu have used the opportunity to air is rejection of the proposal now going round government circles,other state governors should follow up by making their rejection public so that the demonic idea can die fast.

Straight and direct.

ikpeazu no wan hear story

This is what I call "Clear statement" no beating around the bush, no sugar-coating words...


Straight to the point and tell them the truth.

Well done Mr Governor! I you on this. They should carry their nonsense and shift!

Did FG mention Abia as one of the states where they want to build cattle colony? Gov Ikpeazu is a failed governor. He wants to use this to distract from his failed government. His incompetence is no longer tolerable and in 2019, we will kick him back to the dustbin where TA Orji picked him from.

straight to point, no corner corner wayo talk.

God punish any fulani terrorist that won't buy a plot of land and ranch his cows.

They better stay in the north before every fulani man is marked for death considering their activities of past years and recently, the genocide in Benue state

Are you waiting for them to mention your state before knowing their game plans?

Is time all South East and South South Governors, this, come together and reject this proposal from Federal Government. Let them concentrate their Cattle colonies in the north. I pity states that will accept this, because before you know what is going on. They will start dragging your land with you.

Very direct and concise. NO VACANCY for abokii.
