The Ekiti State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has raised an alarm over what it described as the proposed plan by the State Government to create ranches for herders operating in the state.
The PDP in a release on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Raphael Adeyanju, described the move by the government as unnecessary and delibrate move by the Fayemi-led administration to waste money.
The statement read in part “The attention of Ekiti chapter of the PDP has been drawn to the plan of the Fayemi’s administration to create ranches for herders in Ekiti State.
“We can describe this as a welcome development as long as no government fund is expended on a private business.
“We in the PDP regard cow rearing as lucrative business. Apart the Fulanis, many indigenes of Ekiti also engage in the business, they should be encouraged to engage in modern ranching.
“We are however opposed to Fayemi’s attempt to play politics with Ekiti destiny because of his inordinate ambition.
He has no right to cede any portion of Ekiti to appease some troublesome elements of the society” the statement added.
