Speaking at a meeting with the leadership of Maiyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association, traditional rulers, local government council chairmen and other stakeholders in Benue State, Ortom insisted that the November implementation date was still unchanged.
“What that also means is that if this government fails to do the bidding of the majority of our people, we risk being stoned by the people who insisted that the law should come into being.”
Earlier, the National President of Maiyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Alhaji Muhammadu Kirowa, declared the support of his people for the law and the government’s move to check the recurrent herdsmen/farmers’ crisis in the state.
Kirowa said: “Initially, we thought that the law was intended to chase herdsmen out of Benue, but we have realised that it is intended to create peaceful co-existence among our people.
