Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator has accused the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government of diverting the attention of
Nigerians with the issue of open grazing.
Sani accused the Federal Government of increasing
electricity tariff and pump price of fuel, while diverting the attention of
Nigerians with open grazing.
In a tweet, the former lawmaker lamented that the Federal
Government got approval for $6Billion foreign loan and N895 supplementary
budget without challenge.
Sani tweeted: “While northerners and southerners attention
are diverted to debate on closed or open grazing, the FG is increasing tariff
on electricity, jacking up pump price of pms and getting approval for $6Billion
foreign loan and N895 supplementary budget, without any challenge from
anywhere.”
President Buhari had backed the return of cattle grazing
paths, allowing herdsmen trail designated routes across Nigeria.
Buhari made the remark during an interview with Arise
Television.
Despite the President’s stand, state governors from the
Southern part of the country have expressed their displeasure with open
grazing.
The governors have severally insisted that they have no open
grazing routes in their states.
