Fani-Kayode Knocks FG Over Plan To Build Cattle Ranches In 10 States

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has criticized the federal government over its plan to build ranches in about 10 Nigerian states.

Recall that the government, at the unveiling of the National Economic Council’s National Livestock Transformation Plan on Tuesday, agreed to set up cattle ranches in Adamawa, Benue, Ebonyi, Edo, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba and Zamfara States.

But in a fierce statement on his Twitter page, Fani-Kayode said such plan depicts victory for Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association.

According to him, building the ranches will pose a threat to Nigerians, as the move is a “process of being enslaved and conquered.”

“Buhari plans to build 94 cattle ranches in 10 states at the cost of 179 billion naira: this is a great victory for Miyeti Allah and the Fulani herdsmen,” he said.

“The same FG is recruiting former Boko Haram commanders into key positions in our police, intelligence agencies and army.

“When will Nigerians wake up from their deep slumber and recognise the fact that we are in the process of being enslaved and conquered and that the threat that Buhari poses to our nation is existential. They infested our land when we opened our doors and hearts to them.

“They divided our people and turned us into a nation of cowards and beggars. Our men, once strong and proud, were turned into weaklings and quislings with no honor, faith, self-respect, courage or dignity. Now we are being conquered and enslaved. Enough is enough! Resist the evil!” he said.
