Former Agriculture Minister, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has expressed concern about the precarious situation in the northern part during a condolence visit of the Arewa Consultative Forum to Borno Governor, Babagana Zulum, on the killing of 78 rice farmers in Zabarmari community in Jere Local Government area of the state.
Ogbeh, who led a delegation of the tribal group bemoaned the insecurity and grinding poverty in the north, adding that the area has no industry to enable it turn the corner except politics.
The latter, the former minister said, was in no position to take it out of the woods.
His word, “We are depressed, very depressed. And anyone of our age, who was not depressed, he was not well born. We have nothing to leave behind for our children, and violence will not sustain us.
“The tragedy of the North today is that the only industry left is politics, and politics alone, has never grown any society. We have to re-grow Borno State; we have to re-grow the North.”
