The Pan-Yoruba socio- political group, Afenifere yesterday rejected the grazing commission bill presently being debated at the National Assembly, describing it as offensive.
According to Vanguard reports, the group called on the National Assembly to “throw out the bill which is bound to generate unnecessary crises across the country.”
The National Chairman of the group Chief Reuben Fasoranti in a statement issued in Akure, said that the bill would rob a set of citizens of their possessions and award to another set of citizen.
“We stand with the decision of the 2014 national conference which recommended the scrapping of grazing route for the establishment of ranches.
“Our attention has been drawn to a vexatious, obnoxious and provocative bill entitled “An act provided for the establishment and development commission for the preservation and control of national grazing reserves and stock routes and other matter connected therein.”
The bill was sponsored by Senator Zainab Kure from Niger State.
