Senators have unanimously asked Defence Minister Mansur Dan-Ali to immediately withdraw his statement that Benue, Taraba and Ekiti states should jettison the anti-grazing laws
The resolution followed a motion by Senator Barnabas Gemade.
And the house of representatives, lawmakers also kicked against the defence minister’s suggestion that the anti-open grazing law be suspended.
The recommendation did not go down well with some lawmakers who wondered why a state would be asked to suspend a law it duly enacted.
They resolved that the call on states to suspend the law should be rescinded.
The Senate should take for whatever happens in the executive arm of this administration. The Senate confirmed all the ministerial nominations. The Senate should have asked to know if the nominee understood what a FEDERATION means.
