Grazing Routes: Buhari Eager To Pull Nigeria Backward- Ohanaeze

Apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has described President Buhari’s insistence on tracing abandoned grazing routes as funny, saying that the President is backpedaling.

According to Ohanaeze, it could not understand why the President is eager to pull Nigeria backward when other nations of the world are busy embracing changes and moving forward.

Spokesman of the body, Chief Alex Chidozie Ogbonnia, said Buhari’s decision is akin to revalidating slave route since dropped.

“It is funny, it is difficult to understand what he wants to do; to revalidate grazing routes, for what? It is like revalidating slave routes.

“Our President is backpedaling. We say that the world has changed. We have come to a critical juncture where by any decision we take, we look back to assess it.

“We must look forward. Our President is backpedaling, which is unfortunate”.

On their part, Alaigbo Development Foundation, ADF, advised President Buhari to talk of more serious issues abound in the country.

“The APC Government of President Muhammadu Buhari should save this country from this Fulani hydra-headed problem of open-grazing or no open-grazing. There are more important issues to talk about.
