PDP Kicks Against Buhari’s Plan To Establish Cattle Ranches

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has kicked against the plan by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to establish cattle ranches in some parts of the country.

In a statement on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the former ruling party advised the federal government to hold enough consultations, so as not to escalate the same problems it claims to be addressing.

Ologbondiyan noted that the situation had already generated discordant tunes and acrimony among major stakeholders, groups and states across the country, particularly relating to issues of funding and land ownership.

He said: “The party calls on the Federal Government to get its acts together and follow all due processes, as stipulated by the laws and 1999 Constitution (as amended) regarding this issue, in order to eliminate the current disagreements being generated.

“The PDP holds that the nation has witnessed enough disagreements, violence and bloodletting, as such all measures must be put in place to avert a fresh crisis.”
