Senator Dino Melaye has lambasted Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State for accepting cattle colonies in the state… “I am not surprise that the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, quickly met with the Minister of Agriculture in order to make Kogi State a testing ground 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.”
