An agriculturalist, Otunba Yomi Akingbade has congratulated the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his vice, Alhaji Kasim Shettima, on their electoral victory, while expressing hope that Nigeria’s populace and farmers would benefit “bountifully from the agricultural policy to be initiated by the Tinubu government.”
Akingbade, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, stated this on Tuesday, while appreciating Nigerians for electing Tinubu and Shettima as president and vice president respectively.
The businessman said Tinubu and Shettima’s victory on February 25 was divine, adding that Tinubu’s incoming government will bring prosperity and growth to the country.
He stressed that the president-elect’s agricultural policy “will ensure food security and employments for the populace and particularly the youths.”
Akingbade said, “As a farmer and agriculturalist, I want to believe that the agricultural sector has not been given adequate or much attention by the Federal Government, and this is one area we want the president-elect, Tinubu to focus on to exploit and harness the socio-economic potentials in the agric sector.”
He also called on farmers in the country, particularly the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) to “strongly collaborate and work with Tinubu to give proper attention to agric sector.”
