Ali Ndume, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, has
faulted the Southern Governors for banning open grazing in the southern states
of Nigeria.
Ndume, speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s
Politics Today on Thursday, said he expected the governors to come out with an
immediate solution instead of issuing a blanket statement.
He noted that their action couldn’t be as effective as
meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issues of concern.
“I’m not concerned about what they (the governors) said … I
was thinking that they would come out with an immediate solution, mid-term
solution, and long-term solution to open grazing.
“We’ve serious security challenges in this country that are
different in all the geopolitical zones, and I was expecting that the governors
will come together and address these issues, come up with the solutions that
they have mentioned and discuss with the President in a closed-session as we
call it in the Senate, not to come out to the media and issue a blanket
statement,” Ndume said.
Meanwhile, the Southern Governors Forum had on Tuesday urged
the Federal Government to urgently convoke a national dialogue to address the
widespread agitations in the nation.
The 15 members in attendance also called for restructuring
of the country, leading to the evolution of state police.
