Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has rejected plans of the Nigerian Government to set up Ruga Farm settlements for Fulani herdsmen in the State.
The Federal Government had proposed farm settlements in the 36 States of the Federation.
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association had proposed Fulani vigilante groups in the South East.

Ihedioha who spoke though his Special Adviser on Media, Steve Osuji, wondered why such settlements should be hurriedly set up in the State when none has been established in any part of the Northern states in the federation.
He said no State Governor in the South East will accept such offer.
Certainly not. It is not about Imo State; no state in the South-East would accept it. We won’t rush to accept it when no state in the North has implemented it.”
