The state government of Osun has revealed that the recently passed anti-open grazing law in Osun State is not meant to witch-hunt or victimize members of the Fulani community in the State.
The government said the law was signed so as to sustain the long standing cordial and peaceful co-existence between farmers and Fulani herdsmen in the State.
The Osun Government made this revelation during a stakeholders’ meeting with the Fulani community in Osogbo on Wednesday.
Speaking at the parley, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Civic Engagement, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye disclosed that the government appreciated the harmonious and cordial relationship that had existed with the Fulani community and promised to do all within its powers to protect and preserve it.
