In an interview with The Guardian yesterday in Jalingo, the chairman of the association, Mafindi Umar Danburam, stressed that the nation’s constitution supersedes every law enacted by the federating units. According to Danburam, who oversees cattle breeders in the entire region, the law prohibiting their activities would be nullity at the end of the day, noting that they had dragged the state government to court. He said: “In our view as an association, the law is just a child play because it will not supersede the provisions of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His words: ” It is a law of hatred and segregation. It is a biased law that will not stand because we are already challenging it in court.”He, however, enjoined their subjects and supporters to be law-abiding.
