Mr. Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation of Nigeria who is believed to be educated, said that the ban on open grazing by Southern governors is wrong. He compared open grazing to a spare parts business. This is below the thinking of an educated man in our opinion. It is either Mr. Abubakar Malami is playing a tribal card by supporting his people and undermining other citizens of Nigeria who are from the Southern part of the country or he does not know exactly what the constitution of Nigeria says on this issue despite his status as an Attorney General of the Federation.
The Southern governors of Nigeria have every right to make and take decisions that would protect the lives and properties of the people of their various states. This aspect of rights is not negotiable as we (Viewers Corner News team) said in our previous article that the meetings held and decisions taken by the southern governors were not made years back because the country was not as bad as it is at the moment. The lives and livelihoods of people in the southern part of Nigeria are now being destroyed on a daily basis, which is bad. It is as a result of this ugly incident that gave birth to the decision of Southern governors to ban open grazing and offer useful suggestions on the way forward for Nigeria. The Viewers Corner News team applauds the Southern governors for taking such a decision.
If Mr. Abubakar Malami (the Attorney General of the Federation of Nigeria) and those who are negatively criticizing the ban on open grazing have good intentions for Nigeria’s unity, they should have supported the decision made by the Southern governors of Nigeria because it is in the best interests of the country. No country in the world in this digital era would support open grazing, which is a very primitive method of cattle rearing. Based on this, the Viewers Corner News team is calling on those who are still condemning the decision of the Southern governors on opening grazing to do their home work properly and join in rebuilding Nigeria into a better nation. Ranches are the best method for those engaged in the cattle business. Stop moving cattle from the north to the south on foot. It is very wrong to do so. Viewers Corner News team would also use this opportunity to call on the Southern governors to stand by their decision on open grazing, including other decisions which they took at the meeting in Asaba (Delta state) because it is the only way forward for a better Nigeria.
