I had been a member of its Board of Trustees; I have not joined any party but overtime my friends and I who have identical ideas and thinking of a better Edo State met and formed a non-political pressure group called the Edo Mass Movement (EMM).
Buhari should give way after four years – Alex Nwokedi
You should ask him, what programme does he have? I have told you agriculture and it is the mainstay of Nigerian economy right from time immemorial. Oil is just a recent thing. If we develop agriculture, you will see how less concerned we will naturally become about oil. Part of the problem is that Buhari has to be fair to all ethnic groups in Nigeria and not to pay attention to only one. It is not only when you embezzle money that they say you are dishonest. Buhari could be honest but he is not a fair man.

Buhari’s economic team, square pegs in round holes – Ango Abdullahi
Last week, I had to buy dollar and I had to pay N400 for one dollar and you can imagine, if you want to spend $10,000 to import farming equipment, that means I’m looking for N4 million. And only some years ago, my N2.00 was equivalent to $3.00. Two naira in 1986 when I was Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University was equivalent to three dollars but today, my two naira cannot buy even one cent. We have really destroyed the economy buy adopting policies that are injurious to the economy of Nigeria and some of these policies were imposed on us by the IMF and the World Bank and it is the IMF and the World Bank policies that we are still operating.
Edo guber election: Next Saturday is PDP’s final burial – Idaomi
Coming back to APC, they have a different style of leadership, you are allowed to express yourself without getting into trouble. I have not been in APC for too long but I can tell you I am a happier person. It is a party that rewards hardwork, you don’t have to know a god father to get anything. I am going to be here for a long time.
‘Self-sufficiency, food security in agriculture are achievable in Nigeria’
This is absolutely correct considering the rapidly growing population of most African countries. Nigeria, for instance, was a strong agricultural produce exporting country prior to the oil boom era, with very strong export volumes and value in produce like cocoa and rubber. You very well know that the first palm kernel seed planted in Malaysia was taken from Nigeria, and that country today is one of the world’s largest exporters of palm oil. Agricultural funding is gradually increasing via various funding initiatives and I will touch on this as I go on.
