Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has reacted to the plan by the Federal Government to set up Ruga settlements across the country.
The Buhari led administration recently disclosed that they will be piloting Ruga settlements in 12 states in Nigeria.
This was revealed on Tuesday by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Muhammad Umar.
He stated that the Ruga settlements will solve the incessant conflicts between fulani cattle herders and farmers.
Reacting to the new development which is already drawing protests in Benue State, Shehu Sani stated that the architects of the plan are carefully setting up a dangerous atmosphere while safely tucked away behind.
He tweeted: “Establishing a ‘Rugan Fulani’ settlement in some states where spears and swords are flying over heads and without facilitating a comprehensive inter communal peace plan and MOU, will be a recipe for disaster.The architects of the idea are viewing the problem from their tinted windows.”
