Addressing newsmen on Sunday after a meeting of the South East governors and stakeholders in Enugu, Ekweremadu said that there was no bill on the creation of grazing reserves before the National Assembly. He, therefore, said that the purported bill for the creation of grazing reserves was a “hoax’’, adding that the press should
strive to stop such rumours. “There is no such proposal or bill on the creation of grazing reserves either in the Senate or House of Representatives. “Nobody is considering it; not even at the executive level. I do not think they are considering it but we will not support it even if it has been considered,” he said. Ekweremadu said that the meeting was convened in reaction to the attack on the people of Uzo Uwani by suspected herdsmen.
