Tinubu Reveals Those Who Want To Break Nigeria’s Appointment With Destiny

Tinubu has revealed those who want to break Nigeria’s appointment with destiny.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu has disclosed those unbelievable people and strong forces that want to break Nigeria’s appointment with its greater destiny by attacking “agricultural players” in the country, thereby creating scarcity of food.

The APC Chieftain was also awarded an honorary doctorate at the event by the university Senate and Governing Council.

The former Lagos State governor said, “We approach a defining moment as a nation. A reckoning of special importance beckons. We must decide whether to give the truest meaning to our national motto “peace and unity” or we allow the agents of destruction and merchants of violence to have their way with us.

“Terrible people and strong forces want to break Nigeria’s appointment with its greater destiny. These people have unleashed terror and violent criminality against us.

“By attacking agricultural players across the nation, they seek not only to ravage the agricultural community, but to visit misery on the rest of the nation through food scarcity and food costs that poor people can simply not afford. In effect, these mean forces seek to impose a food production and distribution crisis on us by disrupting strategically important agricultural areas and activities.”

Tinubu explained the need for agricultural players to feed the nation and fight evil actors at the same time.

“We must decide whether our farmland and grazing areas are to be battlegrounds, or they are to return to their role of feeding the nation,” he said.

The APC chieftain also stated, “During this moment of food scarcity, we must launch a program to expand production of food staples. The concept of ‘agricultural sustainability’ advocates food production in a way that makes the optimal use of existing technical capacities by focusing on the most appropriate genotypes of seeds and livestock for our environment.
 
“Here, both state and federal governments must subsidize the restart of agricultural activity interrupted by terror and criminality. These actions will serve to tame food scarcity and price inflation in the short run.”

“Increased productivity through greater mechanised farming will advance food security. We have one of the lowest incidents of mechanized farming in the world. Governments must work with local communities to establish farm cooperatives that will increase mechanization of agricultural production. The cooperatives should be structured in a way to finance more productive farm equipment, which cooperative members can use on a time-share basis,” he also said.
