Hon. Leke Abejide distributes 50,000 palm trees and 40,000 improved cashew seedlings to farmers.

The member House of Representatives and the governorship candidate of ADC, Hon Leke Abejide flagged off the empowerment program for Farmers in Yagba Federal Constituency through Dagbolu Farms. 

The distribution of improved 50,000 palm trees and 40,000 cashew seedlings to farmers is a way of improving commercial agriculture.  

Speaking at the event the Alalu of Alu HRH, Oba Oladele Togun, shared his experience about his yield from farming, he said agriculture is the most lucrative business and as a King, he is also a farmer. 

"I planted palm trees and the product harvested so far has encouraged me to plant more," he said. 

Hon. Leke Abejide said "It is a good thing to empower people, especially through agriculture because it's an opportunity to provide food and uplift people from poverty, some may not understand it today but when they start making profits, they will figure out the advantages. 

Yagba is a shining example for other Federal constituencies to follow, this is not the first edition, but the 3rd edition. This will be replicated across the state, as it is a way of taking our people out of poverty through funding agriculture. 

"Our land is very fertile and productive I am rest assured that the palm trees and cache nurseries will do well on our soil". 

Abejide congratulated the beneficiaries of the improved seedling and advised that they should not take this opportunity for granted. 

He harped on the need for the people to engage in aggressive farming to enhance food security and add value to agricultural production for export earnings.

"Use it for the good of yourself and your family,  if you use it well we will be able to do more than this and we make it a yearly distribution to support farmers and interested individuals, I want to encourage all the beneficiaries to plant it this year so that they will continue to grow and not die". 

Hon. Abejide appreciated the initiator the Director of Dagbolu Farms, "It is her idea to claim our land from intruders. This has shown your aggressive efforts to reduce the rate of unemployment among our youths in Yagba". 

Hon. Leke Abejide officially flagged off the distribution of improved seedlings of fifty thousand (50,000)  palm trees and forty thousand (40,000) cashew to farmers and other interested individuals passionate about planting cash crops. 

Ogbeni Fadeyi Adenisinmi administered the "train the trainee agents" who will later train other interested persons from their locality on how to plant the improved seedlings satisfactorily in a manner that will bring about maximum growth and yield. 

The Director of Dagbolu Farms appreciated Hon Leke Abejide for supporting the great initiative to ensure food security and alleviate poverty. 

She stated that Dagbolu has more to offer, the vision is to expand the nurseries so that Hon. Leke would not just be known as a politician but also as an environmentalist, one who impacts people and the ecosystem.

"Our forest has been pondered through farming, especially from people that are into saw mailing cutting down trees and causing deforestation in the environment. 

Dagbolu Farms intended to do more by investing in nurseries of melanin with other cash crops. If you can not have it as a personal forest it can be an edge around your farm.

"For families collecting pea nuts from foreigners using their land in addition to what you receive as the lease on the land, people using the land can also be of help by helping to clear deliberate forests to start a family reserve that will be utilized by future generations. When travelling along Jos, Plateau state there are forest reserves that belong to the government which means families or communities can also nurture forest reserves using communal land for the purpose".

Madam Omoseke Amupitan acknowledged the efforts of Dr Olubamijoko who is currently using personal land for personal forest.

She clarified that the importance of Melanin is that after cutting them they sprout by the side, the forest should not be stripped from the people. 

"Hon. Leke is investing more in agriculture because he knows the importance and he has been proactive about it. The empowerment will be different as women will plant more palm trees to enrich their family menu". 

"Dagbolu farms have one thousand royal palms that are going to be ornamental plants to decorate our environment". 

While thanking Abejide for giving farmers and other individuals the needed support to invest in agriculture and promoting its course in Yagba Federal Constituency.

What Nigerians Should EXPECTATE from Mr President by AB AHMAD

ASIWAJU AHMED BOLA TINUBU’S PRESIDENCY SHALL BE THE TRANSFORMATION OF NIGERIA CRITICAL SECTORS: AN INSIGHT TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF NIGERIANS BY HON. DR. AB AHMAD, FIICEP

What will one write or say that has not been said about Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaba of the Borgu Kingdom, erstwhile Governor of Lagos state, at a time a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and of course the National leader of the APC. He has now being sworn in as the 16th President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. His acumen and shrewdness in politics is far beyond prompt commentary. One has to carefully understand Tinubu before commenting on him, if not one will end up misrepresenting facts about him. He is a man of different shades, but has remained very consistent to his ideals and vision, which has overtime yielded him the good, the bad and the obnoxious interpretations.

With his antecedents in private and public sectors, as well as his passion for pragmatic result oriented changes, it is safe to allude that Tinubu’s presidency shall pay attention to POWER, EDUCATION, AGRICULTURE, SECURITY and EMPLOYMENT codified as PEASE. This is so nuanced owing to his depth understanding of the Nigerian state and also his desire to bring to bear his expertise in human capital development. It should be noted that over the years, political engagements and activities are often heightened prior to or during and/or immediately after elections, thereby making the developmental strides half baked, living a gab for unwarranted speculations. We have also observed that the chaotic permutation of some politicians has given room for divisions and political maneuvers leading to conflict of interests among members of the political party in power and even in the opposition.

Therefore, Tinubu understands that with stable power supply, education and the economy thrives, just as agriculture through small and agro-allied productions floors the markets by increasing the per capita income of the nation. On the other hand, without security, employment and agricultural productions will continue to be a mirage to all, hence, the need for a concerted efforts in galvanising the manpower to drive home PEASE for the betterment of all Nigerians and without doubt Tinubu/Shettima Presidency are out to achieve same.

The voluble determination cum sagacious spirit of mentorship in Tinubu has remained an enigma, and has been an intrinsic outlook that has enhanced his relevance within the annals of the Nigerian political trajectory. He it was that stated during the inaugural lecture delivered by erstwhile President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta that “I must run this race and must do it well. On security, the economy, agriculture, jobs, education, health and power and in all other sectors we must make headway.  The people deserve no less...” Invariably, Tinubu understands his mandate and who pray God – Almighty will ease and grant him good health to triumph over the naysayers.

Tinubu is known to hunt for talents and uses competent brains (not minding their states of origin) to get results, while many of his contemporaries euro-centric thinking caps in addressing Nigeria’s multifaceted, deeply rooted socio-economic experiments, without recourse to realities, agonies and pains of the citizenry. He stated again at the inauguration lecture event that “this stately occasion is living evidence that Nigeria is a vibrant and true democracy. All of us here bear witness to this inspiring proceeding where one leader bestows personal honor on his successor. Also, that leader does his utmost to exchange the baton of government by ensuring that his successor is as well-prepared as possible for the task at hand.”

Tinubu is of many rims – assuasive, broadminded, tactical, and principled to a fault. His philosophy of politics without acrimony is something else that even unsettles his political mentees and even his political opponents. Jagaba is indeed a game changer! In fact, he allows all forms of opinions during discussions, listens more attentively when being spoken to, but when he takes decision, his personae resonates in such good decisions taken.

Interestingly during Tinubu’s swearing-in today he assured all and sundry that “Our government also shall work with the National Assembly to fashion an omnibus Jobs and Prosperity bill. This bill will give our administration the policy space to embark on labour-intensive infrastructural improvements, encourage light industry and provide improved social services for the poor, elderly and vulnerable.”

We nonetheless, join million Nigerians to congratulate Their Excellences, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima for the rare opportunity to Nigeria and Nigeria
