We Don't Want Herdsmen To Suffer, We're Going Ahead With RUGA Settlements Despite Suspension - Gombe Governor
After meeting with President Buhari on Friday, Yahaya said the state had reserved over 200,000 hectares of land to implement the scheme.
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK JUL 06, 2019

Inuwa Yahaya, governor of Gombe state, has said his istration will go ahead with the RUGA settlements proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari for herdsmen.

The controversial initiative, suspended after a public outcry was proposed by the federal government to end the incessant clashes between farmers and herders.

After meeting with President Buhari on Friday, Yahaya said the state had reserved over 200,000 hectares of land to implement the scheme.

He said, "President Buhari’s intention on the RUGA settlements scheme is laudable and the people of Gombe, who are predominantly Fulani will definitely key into it," Yahaya said.

"As I speak to you now, Gombe state government has set aside over 200,000 hectares of land for the implementation of the RUGA Settlements scheme in the state."

“So, because some states rejected the scheme doesn't mean that Gombe state will not go ahead to implement it.

"Up till now, I don't want to believe that the pilot scheme has been suspended. We are going to continue with it, because to us it’s a very good initiative in view of the hardship our people (herdsmen) are now facing."

"We need to find a lasting solution to their predicament so as to save their lives because they are Nigerians too."

"So, I don’t want to believe that the president has suspended the scheme – this is worrisome and may be inimical to our people."

You can use the whole Gombe state for RUGA but not an inch in AKWA IBOM State.

This man invested in cattle rearing.

Most northern state governors are just glorified tribal leaders. These bigots deserve to live in a separate country.

That's good. The north have so much land begging to be occupied but not the south east. When two brothers fight in igboland, it's mainly because of land. It is limited in South east. A plot of land in Awka or Owerri is more than 10 million. So u see, we cannot give what we don't have. Sorry federal govt!

Not in my yard....!

Go. Ahead turn government house to Ruganfulani....

We in Niger Delta don't give a fvckk... !

If the south rejected it and the north accepted it why then did they suspend the programme nationwide ? Was it meant for the south?

North is not the target, but rather it is the South. We need to be very careful, Buhari the pig has a very big negative plan against us. We must always speak against any unclear policy and stand our ground

Truth is that the fear of Nigeria disintegration remains the greatest threat the Hausafulanis hate to see it happen.

Every move done by BuhariApC is aimed at getting a highly mixed southern Nigeria with sizeable Hausafulanis Muslims as indigenous owners of south so that the hold to the sustenance of one Nigeria would be guaranteed. This what RUGA is all about

Animals wey get horns dey talk, snail dey raise head

Abegi,

Is it a name of a person ,animal, tree or thing?

What solution have you got to prevent the Fulani herdsmen from invading your farmlands?

Would you blame him?

Are you saying that the southern state governors are not tribal leaders?

I think the issue can be solved by having one central land in a place like Abuja instead of all the states in Nigeria.

I believe the FCT should have enough land for this project.

The Federal Government should only fund one central settlement that is located centrally.

This can be negotiated with all the stakeholders. We should all agree to have one central settlement where all the herdsmen can be contained.

But the 30-day ultimatum given by the northern group will not help matters.

Sambisa works just fine. It is a forest with plenty of water and vegetation and said to be bigger than the entire SE.

Why are both making beer parlour assertions.


You make programmes that will apply across States. Different programmes per state will cause more confusion and same time set-back plan and enforcement. Its not logical when you have to enact a programme in 6 states, only to enact another law in different states when all is for same cause. This is just 1+1 of leadership and management skills.

It is called strategy. Only Nigeria armed forces do publish theirs on social media.
