President Buhari has Re-submitted an executive bill akin to the controversial water resources bill that almost tore the National Assembly apart few years ago. This new Bill to the National Assembly aims at the Federal Government to taking control of all waterways and their banks in Nigeria.
We could recall that during Buhari’s first term in the office under the leadership of Sariki and Dogara in the NASS Buhari brought the bill and it was rejected.
Now having a Rubber Stamp Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives, cunning President Buhari has returned the bill to the NASS to grab Banks of the Rivers for his cows and brothers.
Of curious attention is the annexing of thousands of lands adjoining the river banks. These are ancestral lands belonging to poor farmers.
Without any doubt, President Buhari will, as soon as the bill is passed, hand over permanent grazing rights to his kinsmen, the Fulanis, who will come with their destructive weapons and commence expansion into/conquest of the hinterland.
Also, the bill is intended to abrogate the Land Use Act, which has vested all lands in State Governors. This amounts to bringing grazing colonies through the backdoor
