All Farmers Association of Nigeria, Maize Association of Nigeria, Miyetti Allah Keutal Hore, Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria, and Federation of Agricultural Commodity Association of Nigeria have endorsed the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu.

They gave their endorsements at a town hall meeting with Tinubu in Minna, Niger State, on Monday.

Speaking at the meeting, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate promised to undertake reforms within the farming, fishing, and livestock sector that will make the industry competitive.

He also promised to make the agricultural sector the bedrock of Nigeria’s new economy when he becomes president.

Tinubu, who adopted the presentation by the Chairman Progressive Governors’ Forum and Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu, appointed him to head a committee to fashion a blueprint that will help position the Agric sector so that it can occupy its deserved pride of place.

The APC presidential flagbearer in his speech titled “Path the Agricultural Self-Sufficiency”, emphasized the important role agriculture played in the country’s economy before the discovery of oil.

Present among others at the well-attended event were the APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the party’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, Director-General of APC Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong, host Governor Abdullahi Sani-Bello, Jigawa State Governor Abubakar Badaru, Niger State APC Governorship candidate, Hon. Umar Bago, and other party chieftains.

While directing his speech to the farmers’ groups, Tinubu acknowledged that all the states in the country have the ability to offer one of two things to ensure that the nation fully produces what it eats.

He said, “Northern Nigeria has great agricultural potential due to its abundant arable land. It must continue to march at the forefront if the sector is to significantly advance at all.

“Every state and the FCT have some degree of competitive advantage in agriculture, whether horticulture or crop production, fisheries, poultry or animal husbandry. Properly developed, these assets will not only satisfy our domestic needs but make Nigeria a global force within a short time.

“If Nigeria fully harnesses its agricultural potential, our exports will rise to the level such that we shall feed much of sub-Saharan Africa, allowing us to better balance our economy while fostering social tranquility, stronger consumer bases and political goodwill between us and other nations in the region and on the continent.”

APC Chairman Adamu, a farmer himself, said Tinubu would do well for the Nigerian farmers because he understands their plight.

Speaking in the same vein, Governor Lalong said the APC presidential candidate is the son of a market woman who traversed both rural and urban communities as she plied her trade.

He added that as President of Nigeria, Tinubu will connect the city and rural economy to create prosperity for the farmers.

PrinceOfLagos:

The other time it was Kabaka, a well known cultist now it's miyetti Allah

Adblg0610:
This is the real authentic sign that Buhari is now fully supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, because the primary allegiance of all these farmers associations is to the President who has been supporting them since 2015, when the anchor borrowers program was launched

NigeriaIsGreat:
Tinubu is sure the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria

LegendHero:


Hope you know both farmers and Miyetti Allah are in the said event and they both endorsed Tinubu.

Asiwaju when elected will put an end to the menace of herdsmen. The farmers in Niger have such believe in him which explained why they endorsed him.

Ttalk:
Yes.

Tinubu has not become President, he has started acting like the father of the nation.

You can't take that away from him. Tinubu is borne leader and also acquired leadership skills and gained more leadership qualities through experience.

If you like hate him, that doesn't take away his attributes. Imagining the kind of hope he has instilled in the minds of the farmers. This is how to galvanize people and make them work toward common goal.

It is not by deceit like Atiku neither by bullying like Obidient but by systematic and conscious approach to Nigeria's problem.

Tinubu is a brand, the latest iPhone that is being scorned by the wretched 3310 phone users. Those that doesn't know his worth would not appreciate his kind.

Globad:
While some people are debating about debates, this man is getting endorsements where it matters

Like play, like play...
