The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore group has described the anti-grazing law by Southern governors as ‘satanic’ and ‘politically motivated’.

The group’s National Secretary, Selah Alhassan, in an interview at the weekend therefore, threatened to sue the governors over the law.

He said, “I think such laws are not meant to engender peace in our nation because they are hateful, politically motivated and satanic. We don’t see anything good in such laws. While they are at it, God will not allow them to succeed, because these herders are innocent. They are also victims of insurgencies. I see the government playing politics with all these things, and the politics is not working for them. It is a process, not a one-man stream.”

He also called on the Federal Government to wade in and “call these governors to order (sic) before they destroy the economy because they want to make laws.”

“We are all Nigerians so we call on the Federal Government, particularly Mr President and the National Assembly, to wade in and caution these governors because we cannot destroy an economy because you want to make laws. If you are doing anti-open grazing laws in Lagos, are there cattle grazing in Lagos?

“Those cows you see in Lagos are for sale. States like Lagos, Rivers, Bayelsa and to a larger extent, Ogun, don’t need to have any anti-open grazing law; what they need to do is regulate their abattoirs and their cattle markets. But, when you gang up and create laws against an economic group, there is nothing you will achieve.”
