‘Don’t Relent, Continue Farming’ – President Buhari Tell Nigerians

President Buhari has urged Nigerians not to relent in their support
for the Federal Government’s drive to move away from over-dependence on
oil to agriculture.

The president made the call while addressing supporters of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) during his presidential campaign in Birnin
Kebbi saying, ”I was in Kebbi in 2015, during my campaigns and I made
three promises: To transform the economy, boost security, as well as
fight corruption head long”.

He continued to say, “on security, the people of Borno have,
yesterday, confirmed that Boko Haram have been fully decimated. On
agriculture, the last two rainy seasons had recorded bumper harvests, as
such , food security is highly guaranteed in the country as we have
reduced the importation of rice by 90 per cent, and we have also
provided subsidised fertilisers to our teeming farmers. While hoping
that similar bumper harvests would be recorded this year, I am appealing
to Nigerians to go back to farm for subsistence and for sale and they
should not relent in efforts to achieve that”.
