The senator from Kebbi South, Garba Maidoki, claims to spend N90 million a year on his livestock.
Maidoki made this statement during a Tuesday discussion on a proposal supported by Kogi senator Isah Jibrin.
Jibrin had alerted his colleagues to suspected herders’ recent killings in Kogi’s Omala LGA.
The senator bemoaned the N500 million a month that the Kebbi state government spends on the army.
“I have a farm Mr President, you are aware of that. I spend N90 million to feed those cows annually. Without help, there is no way a peasant herder can do ranching,” he said.
“My people from my senatorial district came to tell me that their lives are under threat. I directed them to the governor. Unfortunately, he was not on seat and days later 20 of them were killed.
“My governor said every month, he spends N500 million on the army. Where is the money we appropriate? I think we have a problem if the army will depend on a governor before it does an operation.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
