Bishop of the Enugu
Ecclesiastical Province of Anglican Communion, Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma,
has said no South East governor will be allowed to give land to terrorists in
any guise.
He anchored his claim on the fact
that herdsmen were worse than separatist group, the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, adding that the move was aimed at Islamising Nigeria.
Addressing reporters at the
Cathedral Church of the Good Shepherd in Enugu, the clergyman said herdsmen
were armed, dangerous and as such, are a threat to farmers.
According to Chukwuma, “We cannot
have colony for terrorists; people that are dangerous, who have guns and other
dangerous equipment for killing and maiming our people and farming will become
difficult.
“Very soon, farming will start,
how can you have colony when you have farmers ready to go to farm and are
scared because of herdsmen. Something needs to be done by the government and
security agencies to make everywhere secured and to make everybody join in
agriculture which the government is talking about.
“Cattle colony is another agenda
for Islamizing Nigeria. Forget about what they said, once anybody or state has
the colony, they will continue to impregnate people and they will begin to
expand. We don’t want that. I have stayed in the North and have never seen
where their cows are being reared all over the place. Cattle rearing is a
private business.
“As far as I am concerned, no
governor in South East will accept and should accept any colony for any cattle
rearer because they have become dangerous and we don’t know what they might
become tomorrow. They are dangerous and I say, they are worse than IPOB. They
should be described as a terrorist group too.”
