“We have made a statement that that we would not support cattle colonies in Delta State became we believe that we do not have enough land for our farmers considering the fact that a lot of our land is already degraded from oil exploitation activities. We have raised these issues along with other states as we have no doubt that the clashes we have here is not limited to Delta State.”

“We believe the Federal Government needs to work out a policy that would checkmate this and we are happy that the Vice President is currently leading a committee to look into this, but before then, we would continue to work with the state commissioner of police on how to look into the issues involved.”
