The pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has rejected the Grazing Commission Bill currently before the National Assembly.
Leader of the group, Chief Reuben Fasoranti who spoke at a news conference in Akure yesterday said the bill was not in the best interest of the Yoruba people, adding that the bill was meant to favour a section of the country.
Describing the bill as obnoxious and unacceptable, Fasoranti urged all the traditional rulers in Yoruba land to caution the National Assembly against passing the bill into law.
Also, the Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko yesterday declared that the proposed law cannot work in the state. He said the proposed law rather than solving the problem would aggravate it in many parts of the country, especially Yorubaland.
Fasoranti maintained that the bill seeks to turn private cattle rearing into a national affair by setting up a federal body to take care of interest of herdsmen against the interest of other occupations.
