The Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, on Monday voiced his opposition to President Muhammadu Buhari’s quest to bring back cattle grazing routes in the country.
The President had last Thursday approved the return of the cattle grazing route used during the First Republic.
The grazing system adopted during the period allowed herdsmen to use designated grazing routes to move their cattle to several parts of the country.
Umahi, who featured in a Channels Television’s programme, “Politics Today,” however, said the state has no land to give out for cattle ranching.
He said each of state in the South-East already has laws banning open grazing.
According to him, the decision to ban open grazing was not about the leader but about the people of Ebonyi.
