He gave the revelation in Kebbi state on private ramadan visit as part of northern tours to support and see things the way they are in northern part of the country.

Obi, who was received at government house by secretary to the state government, Alhaji Yakubu Bala Tafida, insisted that Nigeria is poor and hungry because the federal government refused to holistically invest in agriculture saying such investments must be directed to the north who possesses vast arable land for peasant and mechanised farming.

He noted that, with agriculture Nigeria will say bye to forex crisis, insecurity, poor education and unaffordable healthcare delivery because our exports would bring forex hence the importance of production economy.

Speaking further, the LP candidate lamented that Nigeria have the highest number of uncultivated land in the world accompanying mass able bodied unemployed youth that could have been used to drive the mass agricultural investment to produce millions of direct and indirect jobs in the country.

At the emir of Gwandu palace, received by royal farther, his royal Highness , the emir of Gwandu, Muhammadu Illiyasu Bashar, mister Obi announced direct ramadan feeding of 100 indigents persons as well the commissioning of borehole at Kahuta village behind dukku army barracks Birnin Kebbi ” we are here to support with water and some little financial assistance because this is a private visit not political he said.

He stated that he is not desperate to become Nigeria’s president but desperate to see the country working and desperate to see the poor man children becomes somebody without anybody.

Responding, the emir of Gwandu,Muhammadu Illiyasu Bashar thanked him for the visit describing him as a long term friend, he therefore call on Nigerian leaders to note mr Obi’s advice of investing in the northern agricultural sector to drive away poverty in the region and country.
