Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has rejected the proposed Ministry of livestock describing it as a tribal time bomb that will explode into tribal crisis and war in a short time.
While speaking to newsmen at Enugu, on Monday 15th July 2024, the national President General Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka urged president Bola Ahmed Tinubu to cease from creating Ministry of livestock, noting that it will be another time bomb that will spark tribal war between Fulani’s and others tribes in Nigeria.
Comrade Igboayaka reminded president Bola Tinubu to recall that former president Mohammadu Buhari tribal administration tried to force Ruga to the throat of Nigerians, but it was vehemently resisted and rejected by well meaning Nigerians.
He said, “Mr Tinubu should hasten up to cancel the proposed ministry of livestock as initiated by ethnic land grabbers of Fulani political oligarchy through Miyetti Allah
“Unfortunately, President Bola Ahmed was misled on Tuesday July 9th 2024 into inaugurating the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms which was tactically keyed in as a means to address obstacles to agricultural productivity and open up new opportunities which benefit farmers, herders, processors and distributors in the livestock-farming value chain, but in actual sense it is reintroduction of RUGA from back door.
“It’s historic that the Yoruba’s have suffered untold ethnic farmers crisis and killings by Fulani herders, therefore President Bola Ahmed Tinubu creation of livestock ministry is an attempt to arm Fulani herders and institutionalized a monster that will pose a threat to consume Yoruba farmers.
“It’s pathetic, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not aware that those behind the proposed ministry of livestock are the same cabals that have constantly pushed for establishment of RUGA in Nigeria for the past 12 years from former President Goodluck Jonathan administration to former president Mohammadu Buhari administration.
“It’s unfortunate and unacceptable to create ministries or agencies according to the interest, needs or demands of one section of the country or a particular tribe instead for national interest. Creation of livestock ministry as championed by Miyetti Allah is a Fulani livestock agricultural project as a means to penetrate and grab lands that belongs to other tribes for settlement in disguise of agricultural purpose” Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka stated.
According to Ohanaeze Youth leader, Ndigbo will resist any form of cattle colony in Igbo land that serve interest of Fulani herders, with its further target of land grabbing institutionalization of fulani community settlement in Igbo land will ultimately be resisted with the last pint of our blood” Comrade Igboayaka vowed.
“I urge other ethnic groups, the middle Belt who are majorly the target of Fulani herders ethnic cleansing and land grabbing to rise up and resist the implementation of the so called livestock Reform” Igboayaka concluded.
