A former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba, yesterday cautioned against undermining Southern governorsâ decision banning open grazing.
He also called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to constitute themselves into opposition to the party.
Osoba who spoke as a guest on The Morning Show, a breakfast programme on ARISE NEWS Channel, the broadcast arm of THISDAY Newspapers, said the members of APC should respect the call for the ban on open grazing.
He was reacting to the statement of presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, in which the presidency queried the legality of the ban on open grazing by Southern governors.

Although the event was sold to the public as the meeting of Southwest caucus of All Progressives Congress (APC), it was more of an emergency crisis management meeting of like minds. As the leaders lined up to tell the world what they discussed, the details of what they would not want to reveal about the meeting in the communiqué was well written on the face of the one they call the National Leader of APC: He was solemn, detached and struggling to achieve an equipoise to belie the threat to his political edifice caused by the burden he bears as the promoter of a wobbly alliance.
