Apostle Johnson Suleman, Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to bury the idea of the proposed Ruga farm settlement programme.<\/p>\n

Suleman gave the call while commending the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government for suspending the programme.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, the clergyman wrote: \u201cGod bless the federal government for this decision to suspend RUGA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope they not only suspend but bury the idea..God bless you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buhari is said to have suspended the Ruga programme pending further notice.<\/p>\n

RUGA settlement scheme was an idea designed to stem the tide of herdsmen\/farmers clashes in parts of the country.<\/p>\n

But some states affected and members of the public understood it as another form of the earlier proposed cattle colony by the federal government, hence kicked against it.<\/p>\n

However, a source close to the presidency hinted newsmen on Wednesday, that Buhari may have resolved to suspend the scheme till further consultations.<\/p>\n

The source said, after consultations with stakeholders, Buhari had resolved to put away the idea for a thorough review and well-accepted approach to the constant clashes between herdsmen and farmers.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
