We Will Resist Establishment Of Cattle Colonies In Kogi – Dino Warns Bello

Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye has warned Governor Yahaya Bello that Kogi West will resist any plan to establish cattle colony in any part of Kogi state.

Dino disclosed this on Thursday in a statement he personally signed and sent to Sundiata Post.

Dino who said it would not be surprising for Bello to make Kogi a pilot state for the proposed cattle colony since money is involved, warned in strong terms that Kogi’s soil, land, water and air cannot be used for cattle colonies.

The statement reads in full:

It is not surprising that the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, will quickly but strangely meet with the Minister of Agriculture in order to make our dear Confluence State as a Pilot State for the proposed Cattle Colonies in the country.

The governor’s latest shenanigans is not surprising in the sense that money is involved. The Federal Government will definitely make funds available to Bello to kick-start the pilot scheme in Kogi State.

Therefore, as a true representative of the people of Kogi West senatorial zone and on behalf of my constituents, we warn in strong terms that our soil, land, water and air cannot be used for cattle colonies.

Let it be clear to all the insensitive people behind the idea that Kogi West will resist the establishment of any cattle colony within our domain politically, spiritually,traditionally and with any means available within the ambit of the law.

Signed:
Senator Dino Melaye
Kogi West
