Grazing Reserves: Ortom threatens legal action against Buhari

The Benue state governor, on Sunday said he would take the President, Muhammadu Buhari to court if he insisted on grazing reserve.

Ortom had on Friday criticized Buhari over his insistence to revive the grazing reserve despite massive opposition against it.

The governor on Sunday insisted that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria superseded the Northern Law that provided for grazing reserves.

Ortom said the state government would not accept the grazing reserve policy.

“In the 50s when this policy was initiated, what was the population of Nigeria, it was less than 40 million, Today we are more than 200 million. The 923 square kilometers is not even enough to cater for the population.
