According to the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore socio-cultural organization, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has committed to solve the issue of the Livestock Intervention Programme and the recovery of the “450 grazing routes across the country.”

Mr Saleh Alhassan, the group’s Secretary-General, also known as Miyetti Allah, revealed this in an interview with Newsmen on Thursday.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Livestock Intervention Programme was implemented two years after the controversial Rural Grazing Area Scheme, better known as RUGA, was suspended.

Many southern states advocated for ranching, arguing that because cattle breeding is a private business, herders should acquire property and graze their cattle on it, so preventing frequent disputes between herders and farmers.

Alhassan, whose organization had previously sponsored the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, stated that a Tinubu administration would protect the interests of Fulani pastoralists.

He said, “We have absolutely endorsed Tinubu for the presidency. We were there in the forum. This was based on the manifesto of the APC’s candidate. We felt our interest is better protected in the Tinubu/Shettima presidency. It was a unanimous endorsement of the candidature of Tinubu.

“Tinubu gave us the commitment to ensure the implementation of the National Livestock Development Plan of the current administration of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, where they will ensure the modernisation of the livestock sub-sector and address the issue of cattle rustling and kidnapping allegations between herders and farmers.

“We will have more ranches and exotic breeding grounds across the country and the gradual sedentarisation of the nomadic herders. This is what we are looking for in the Tinubu/Shettima presidency.

“The 450 grazing routes, the majority of which are located in the North are the starting points of any modern ranch one wants to build in this country. Those are areas provided for herders to do their business for cattle rearing.

“If one wants to start any form of modernisation, Nigeria should begin from the grazing routes which were dedicated for livestock farmers in the First Republic. We cannot build ranches on nothingness, and the issues of land have to be put into serious consideration. This is what Tinubu has promised to address.”
