APC: Outcome Of Food Blockage Shows North, South Need Each Other
Posted by: Frank Cis || Categories: News
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday said the outcome of the blockade of foodstuff from the North to the Southern part of Nigeria has demonstrated the fact that Nigerians need each other to survive.
Northern traders lost millions of naira and sold their farm produce at ridiculously low prices as a result of the four-day blockade while the amounts of foodstuffs such as cattle, yam also skyrocketed in the South.
Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Yekini Nabena, the APC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary said the event has underscored the need for unity between the north and south.
According to him “It is a two-way thing. Everybody needs each other. The north needs the south and the south needs the north. Yes, cattle and agricultural products come mostly from the north but there things that also come from the south to the north”.“As a farmer, if you harvest your tomato which we all know is a perishable product and then you are blocking it, who is going to buy them from you? Or how do you preserve it from getting spoilt?”
“Can you produce it and then sell it to yourself? Let us stop deceiving ourselves as we have been witnessing on social media”.“The south also have products that the north also needs. So, we both need ourselves. Some people are just trying to make themselves relevant for nothing while we all know the truth”.
