Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Ali Ndume, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, has faulted the Southern Governors for banning open grazing in the southern states of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Ndume, speaking during an interview on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today on Thursday, said he expected the governors to come out with an immediate solution instead of issuing a blanket statement.<\/p>\n

He noted that their action couldn\u2019t be as effective as meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issues of concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not concerned about what they (the governors) said \u2026 I was thinking that they would come out with an immediate solution, mid-term solution, and long-term solution to open grazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve serious security challenges in this country that are different in all the geopolitical zones, and I was expecting that the governors will come together and address these issues, come up with the solutions that they have mentioned and discuss with the President in a closed-session as we call it in the Senate, not to come out to the media and issue a blanket statement,\u201d Ndume said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Southern Governors Forum had on Tuesday urged the Federal Government to urgently convoke a national dialogue to address the widespread agitations in the nation.<\/p>\n

The 15 members in attendance also called for restructuring of the country, leading to the evolution of state police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
