Delta Has No Plot Of Land For FG Cattle Colony – CPS

                                      Mr. Charles Aniagwu, Chief Press Secretary to Delta State
                                       Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa

Following the calls for the establishment of Cattle Colonies
across the Country by the Federal Government and with the
full support of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of
Nigeria (MACBAN), the Chief Press Secretary to the Delta
State Governor, Mr. Charles Aniagwu has disclosed that the
State will not cede even a plot of land for the purpose of
creating Cattle Colony.

The eloquent and ebullient spokesman of Governor Ifeanyi
Okowa emphatically stated this during a media interaction with
members of the Indigenous Correspondents Chapel (ICC) of
the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council,
urging all parties interested in cattle business to go purchase
lands to run their business.

The CPS said; “Let me make it very clear that we do not have
any plot of land for any colony. We are not talking of hectares
here, even a plot we don’t have. But we will continue to
acknowledge the fact that there is the need to coexist as a
people. It was fate that chose us as Nigerians, none of us
made that decision and because we didn’t make that decision,
we have to respect that fate. However, in doing so, it must
operate on the basis of live and let’s live. Anyhow that we are
going to live and allow others to live without causing any
danger or damage to anybody, is welcome by the Okowa
administration.”

Aniagwu while drawing an analogy, noted that most landlords
in Asaba are from the eastern parts of the country but they
bought the lands to erect their buildings for business. He
stressed that anyone who wants to do any form of legitimate
business should purchase a land for such purpose.
“So anything that can be done if we need to to be sincere, with
the view to ensuring that it becomes live and let’s live, Delta
State Government is in for it but as for the issue of colony, we
don’t have even a plot of land to colonize. We also do hope
that the Federal Government takes seriously the issue of the
rising spate of insecurity because an insecure nation is
tantamount to to becoming an undeveloped nation”. The
spokesman submitted.
