On Sunday, the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, said he would take the President, Major General Muhammad Buhari (retd.), to court if he insisted on grazing reserve.
Ortom had criticised the 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The governor on Sunday insisted that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria superseded the Northern Nigeria Law that provided for grazing reserves.
Ortom said the state government would not accept the grazing reserve policy.
When asked what step would he take if the President insisted on going ahead, Ortom said, “Already, I have briefed my lawyers to start the process. I will challenge it in court, and I believe I will get a judgment.
“The truth is that if the entire country had accepted ranching, then why is Mr President insisting on open grazing when there is no land for such.
