The bill is coming at time that there have been reports of attacks by herdsmen across the country.

Most of our senators said there’s nothing like Grazing Bill in the Senate, even the DSP said so, alas! the bill has passed the first reading. This is so unfortunate and deceitful.
It is becoming quite clear that Mr. Integrity has a clear divine agenda which he just cannot abandon.
He is really making progress in taking Nigeria to the Promised Land, as he seems not to have anything to lose any more.
