The senator representing Osun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, has described open grazing as an outdated form of cattle rearing that is causing security challenges in the southern states of Nigeria.
This is as he has come out openly to support the decision of the southern governors to ban open grazing in their states.
The Senator also called on the Northern governors to come out in favour of modern ranching as a profitable means of business which will enable the cattle ranchers to settle peacefully with other Nigerians.
Senator Fadahunsi stated this while answering questions on a radio current affairs programme in Osogbo on Friday.
One of the foremost characteristics of successful politicians is resoluteness, a determination to see goals reached and visions manifested. This is also one of the selling points of former Osun State Deputy Governor and Minister for Defence, Erelu Olusola Obada. Based on recent news, Obada might call upon this aspect of her political self once again, this time to represent the people of Osun East Senatorial District in the Senate House in 2023.
The senatorial ambition of Erelu Olusola Obada does not come as a surprise. It is the traditional path to go from deputy governor to governor and then president, if possible. For Obada, the journey has been from deputy governor to junior defence minister to defence minister. There are still opportunities for more political offices, so why not?
