Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Benue State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has lauded Governor Hyacinth Alia over his decision to retain and embrace the ban on open grazing of livestock in the state.<\/p>\n

The Prohibition of Open Grazing and Ranches Establishment Law which was assented to by the immediate past governor of the state, Samuel Ortom in 2017 was enacted to serve as a substantial bulwark against the influx of herdsmen into the state.<\/p>\n

Recall that the governor had during his campaign, said the law would be reviewed when he assumes office, creating fear that his administration may jettison the the act.<\/p>\n

His administration has, however, adopted the law as a way of tackling the security crisis bedevilling the state.<\/p>\n

Reacting, PDP in a statement issued on Saturday by the party\u2019s Publicity Secretary, Bemgba Iortyom, welcomed Alia\u2019s final stand on the matter.<\/p>\n

The party urged the governor to create an enabling environment for the herdsmen who are willing to embrace ranching to do so, saying those who are unwilling should be chased out of the state.<\/p>\n

Part of the statement reads, \u201cWe welcome the governor\u2019s stand and urge him to back his words regarding his new stand with action by getting those herdsmen willing to embrace ranching to take to the practice immediately while those unwilling to do so should leave the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
