He said: “Most of our grazing reserves have been taken over by those in power, to get these back, we have to also join politics and even contest for elective positions. “Already and following our effort in sensitising our people, many now have their PVC cards and are only waiting for the election time. “We are also scanning the people showing interest in the presidential seat with Bola Tinubu leading because he was the one that intervened in our matter while he was governor of Lagos and we had crisis in Benue. “Tinubu came all the way, got us on a round table and reconciled us, so, someone who could do this at that time, we believe can do more when he is at the helms of affairs,” Mr Haruna noted.

You better ask counsel of the priest before you torment your life by yourself. “What office will you win election to that I will now need you? No. My eternal helper is up there, and they know if I have ever asked a thing of anyone. Allow God to lead you.
