Fidelis Mnyim has said the car gift to the judiciary by Governor Hyacinth Alia is a symbol of support and commitment as promised when he assumed office. Barr Mnyim was reacting to a query posed by Prof. Ernest Ojukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in a tweet on Monday, 7th May 2024, challenging the viability of the autonomy granted to Benue State Judiciary if the State governor was still buying cars for them. MAGIC FM recalls that Governor Alia donated six (SUV) vehicles recently to the judiciary. The Professor had wondered why Governor Alia of Benue State should procure vehicles for the state’s judiciary when the funds allocated to the judiciary could be utilized for that purpose. The Attorney General of the State said that the procurement of vehicles for the judiciary constituted an additional benevolent gesture by the Governor.

Meanwhile, Ebonyi State government has rejected the programme, saying the have no land for ranching.
The state Commissioner for Agriculture, Barrister Ikechukwu Nwobo, disclosed this after SEC meeting.
Nwobo said “the state executive council frowned at the news making rounding that the State hasdirected or provided for a cattle ranche in Ebonyi State.
The highest organ of Ebonyi state is the state
executive council and the state security council and any decision taken by this council is the last bus stop for the people and government of Ebonyi state.
Whether the federal government consulted us, we are not aware of that. The State Executive council has decided and made sure that there is no land for ranching in Ebonyi State.
“We never provided land for ranching in Ebonyi
State and it is still our position and that those land they said is for ranching is for those Northern state that have always been doing ranching which have been gazzeted before now.
“We have no idea that we were included in the
ranching, we were not gazzeted. There is no land for any ranching in Ebonyi state and we are not aware that we are among those mentioned as ranching states.
“The Ebonyi State through the executive council
wishes to state that the government has not
provided or released any land for ranching, it
has no plan to do that. The ranching programme being done by the federal government does not include Ebonyi State and it has been redirected to those states in the North where the farmlands have been gazetted and have ranching ground which they will now revitalized”.One more photo below.
