IPOB warns S’East governors against allocating grazing reserve to Miyetti Allah

Proscribed Igbo separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has warned South-East governors against acceding to the recent demand from the Miyetti Allah group for them to be allocated grazing reserves in the region following the creation of the Ministry of Livestock Development by President Bola Tinubu.
The Biafran agitators, in a statement on Saturday issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said “no governor in Biafra land should mortgage the safety and security of Biafrans by allocating land to the terrorists for RUGA in disguise anyone who does will face the wrath of the group.
IPOB also reminded the Nigerian government and Miyetti Allah that “Biafrans don’t have sufficient land for development and agriculture, let alone for grazing reserves.”
“The noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great prophet and resolute leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu, wish to caution the Eastern Governors to shun the recent demand from Miyetti Allah terrorist group for the governors to allocate grazing reserves in their respective States to them,” the statement reads.
“No governor in Biafra Land should mortgage the safety and security of Biafrans by allocating land to the terrorists for RUGA in disguise.
“The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is asking the Southern and Middle Belt Governors to reject the demand for grazing reserves by the Fulani Miyetti Allah terrorist organization in Nigeria.

“Fulanis claim to be Nigerians. Why would they want grazing reserves from other states instead of utilizing their own ancestral land for their grazing reserve?
“President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, who created the Livestock Ministry for Fulanis, should allocate grazing reserves to them. The Livestock Ministry is a code name for RUGA. No RUGA in any format will be tolerated in the Eastern Region.
“President Tinubu can allocate Sambisa Forest as a grazing reserve to the Miyetti Allah. That massive forest is more than enough grazing reserve and settlement for them.
“The Fulanis can have their way with the Nigerian fulanized presidency, but the indigenous people must resist any attempt to take over their ancestral land in the name of grazing reserves and Fulani settlement. Fulanis are opposed to the idea of modern ranching.
“Instead, they want grazing reserves in different states because they are deceptively pursuing the Othman Dan Fodio’s ideology of conquering the whole of Nigeria.
“IPOB, once more, call on all the Governors in the South, particularly the Eastern Governors, to avoid setting fire that will consume their generations to come by disregarding Miyetti Allah terrorists group demand for a grazing reserves.
“IPOB will resist any form of land grabbing, change of demography, and conquest ideology in any disguise. All we are saying is that there shall be no grazing reserve for Miyetti Allah terrorists group in Biafra Land,” IPOB stated.
