Igbos do not have enough land for ranching as being proposed by the Federal Government, says the South-East Governors.
The Federal Government is planning to establish ranches across the country to halt the recent farmers and herdsmen clashes in the country.
However, in meeting of the governors on Sunday at the Enugu Government House, they said, “we want to dismiss rumour being peddled around over the issue of ranching.
“We want to make it clear that the South-East has no land for ranching and nobody has requested us to donate any land for ranching.
“The Federal Government knows that the South-East doesn’t have enough land for ranching. So, we say categorically that we are not donating any land for ranching.”
In addition, the Forum reiterated that “Ndigbo stand on restructuring of Nigeria was presented to the Forum by the Ohanaeze President, based on the resolutions arising from the Awka enlarged meeting.”
