<\/p>\nBorokini gave the warning during the first session of the Diocese\u2019s 13th synod at St. Luke\u2019s Anglican Church, Akure, yesterday.<\/p>\n
According to Borokini, any South-West governor who offers the people\u2019s land for the RUGA project would have himself to blame.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST recalls that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had announced the indefinite suspension of the RUGA project on the grounds of inconsistency with the National Livestock Transformation Plan.<\/p>\n
Reacting, the Anglican Bishop said: \u201cI am not in support of the suspension, I am advocating that it should be abolished.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they want to practise it, let them practise it in the northern part not in the South-West. I am not comfortable with that word, suspension. It should be abolished.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they want to practise it in Adamawa, Kano and other northern states, they should go ahead, but I won\u2019t support practising it in the South West.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy should they give an expanse of land from our community to strangers? And we don\u2019t know what they have in mind; they may have hidden agenda, which I don\u2019t support.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy should they give preference to a particular tribe and a particular trade? Cattle rearing is a trade, and we have some of our farmers who are poultry keepers; why don\u2019t they encourage them?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have some of our farmers also, they rear sheep and goats, why don\u2019t they encourage them? Why is it only people rearing cows that are to be encouraged? What is special?\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
