Insecurity has crumble Farming activities in the North, Take security serious – Atiku Tell FG

Former vice President, and the 2018 Presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has called on the federal government to take security serious.

Atiku made the called through his Facebook page, while lamenting that insecurities in Nigeria, mostly in the northern part of the country has crumble farming activities.

He said no nation can survived without farming, and as it now, insecurities has deprived farmers in the north from going to their farm at this reasoning season, which he said is big disaster to Nigeria.

He said “Farming is not just an occupation for the majority of the people of Nigeria, but also, the lifeblood of the North. Northern Nigeria is synonymous to agriculture.

However, the insecurity the region is battling with at the moment is hampering any meaningful farming activities. As someone engaged in agriculture myself and whose company is dependent on products from farmers, I know that denying the people the freedom to farm in a rainy season as we are experiencing now, is the greatest disservice to the region and by extension, the whole country.

Hence, I urge the Federal Government in collaboration with the governments of the states in the region to take the security challenges seriously, because, failure to overcome this will be problematic for the whole country. A hungry nation is a troubled nation.

While we hope and pray for our security agents to overcome these challenges, citizens should organise themselves and also be vigilant in detecting the movements of criminal elements in their areas. Hard times don’t last forever. Together, we shall overcome our challenges. “
