I’ll uphold enforcement of open grazing prohibition law – Akase

By Nathaniel Nongu

A prominent governorship aspirant in Benue State, Mr Terver Akase has pledged to uphold the enforcement of the Open Grazing and Ranches Establishment Law enacted by the present administration.

He spoke Sunday in Naka, headquarters of Gwer West Local Government Area, during the decamping ceremony organised to receive new entrants and defectors from other political parties into the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The immediate past Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, commended Governor Ortom for his courageous leadership in protecting Benue territory from being taken over by marauding herdsmen.

He stated his resolve to sustain and reinforce Governor Ortom’s approach to tackling security challenges.

The PDP 2023 guber hopeful said that the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law, remains a credible instrument for wading-off invading herdsmen who are bent on unleashing mayhem on Benue communities, stressing that the State must be secured for development to thrive.

Governor Ortom and his wife, Dr Eunice Ortom, State Chairman of PDP, Chief John Ngbede, State Assembly members as well as political aspirants were among those who received the new entrants decampees into the PDP fold.

A retired Permanent Secretary in the state civil service, Dr Jonathan Kwaghtsuselaga led new entrants comprising, former Directors and other civil servants who officially joined the party.
