by the Chairman of Miyetti Allah Hore that land all over Nigeria
belongs to the Fulani.
The Yoruba youths warned the Federal Government against acquiring land
to build cattle ranches for Fulani herdsmen.
The President of the YYSA, Olalekan Hammed, told Punch in Osogbo on
Sunday that acquiring land for building ranches for herdsmen would
cause a serious crisis in the future.
He said since the Fulani had already claimed ownership to the entire
nation, it would be suicidal to build ranching across the country for
their cows because they will be causing a serious crisis with the
people of their host communities.
The youths called on the FG to treat livestock business like other
privately – owned businesses so that people from other ethnic groups
would not see the government action as trying to favour the Fulani
people at then expense of others.
He said, "The Federal Government should not go ahead to acquire land
for Fulani people because this will cause a serious crisis in the
future.
"The Chairman of Miyetti Allah has already said that land in the
entire country belongs to the Fulani.
"The Federal Government should not acquire land for them in Yorubaland.
"If Fulani herdsmen want to buy land for their livestock business,
they should contact state governments. If there is available land in
any state, such state will give them and they will make agreements on
the land.
"Livestock business is private business of individuals and the Federal
Government should not use the nation's resources to create ranches for
the Fulani.
"The statement that all land in Nigeria belongs to Fulani shows that
they have a hidden agenda to dominate everywhere and this can never be
possible.
"So, in order to avoid a crisis which the proposed ranches by the
Federal Government would cause in the future, we are advising them
against it now. Nobody will cede an inch of Yorubaland to anybody for
ranches."
