Farmers in Nigeria are still suffering from bad hands due to the lack of excellent treatment, where they appealed to president Muhammadu Buhari to investigate and find out what is really happening in the hands of those he assigned to implement his administration policies on Agriculture.
In a series on interviews with our correspondent in Kano, the small scale farmers disclosed that Buhari has a good provisions to Nigerian farmers, but all the lapses remained in the hands of those who were given the mandate towards the implementation his policies in Agriculture especially the minister and his lieutenants.
Alhaji Dabo Zaura, from Dawakin Tofa local government area, who is also the chairman of Zaura Tomato growers association said that ” the Honourable Minister of Agriculture Sabo Nanono has failed Nigerian farmers that is why we are backwards despites that Mr. President has provided everything required to boosting production in every crop value chain”. He emphasized.
Similarly, Malam Muhammad Adamu from Rano area said that the federal ministry of Agriculture under Sabo Nanono would continue to disgrace president Buhari because the real farmers were sidelined just in order to retards their production, where he called on the president to change the Minister and replace him with competent person so as to restore everything.
In conclusion, the farmers stated that the minister is responsible for the splits of the All farmers association (AFAN), where he recognised somebody who is not even the member of the association due to his personal interest, adding that ” Nigerian farmers only recognised Architects Kabir Ibrahim as the Authentic AFAN national president in accordance to the association’s constitution”.
