Insecurity in Edo: Obaseki backtracks on govt providing land for herders
Mr Obaseki, unlike the position he held some two years ago, now appears willing to provide grazing land for herders in Edo State. 3 min read
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Tuesday, backtracked on his earlier position on land for herders in the state.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how Mr Obaseki, in 2019, during the now suspended controversial RUGA programme of the federal government, was among the governors who rejected the idea of the state government providing land for herders to build a settlement and grazing area for their cattle.
“We assure Edo people that Governor Obaseki will not cede their rights and land to anybody, as our programmes as a sovereign state do not run on the back of any external entity,” a Government House statement quoted the Edo governor as saying then, in July 2019.
