The Group through their National Leader Major General Patrick Akpu (RTD) and National Secretary Mallam Ahmed Hussein vowed to resist any attempts to setup any form of Cattle Colony in Kogi East.
According to them Selling our heritage and birth right to fuel his governorship Political pursuit is not acceptable to us Igalas, as his decision to grant indigineship to Fulani herdsmen in Kogi state and compel traditional councils to include herders as members of the council is totally repugnant and unacceptable’’.
They vowed to reject all ploy to bring in as many as possible herders to Kogi and making them citizen so as to get their votes and support of the President come 2019 as that would no work as no land of the Igalas would be used for such evil trade off
