The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has stated that the southwest can produce food without the north.
He was reacting to the threat by northerners to stop supplying food to the South over Yoruba-Fulani crisis in some states in the Southwest.
Ayodele explained that some states in the southwest can produce all the foods that the North is supplying, and if the governors cannot do it successfully, then they should resign.
“I’m in support of the North’s decision not to bring food to the south any longer because the governors in South West can produce food,” Ayodele said in a statement he made available to DAILY POST on Monday.
“Let Ekiti supply yam and ram, Ogun should rear cow and supply us rice, garri, lafu,, fufu and beans, Ondo State can supply beans, yam and rice.
“Lagos will be producing fish, tomatoes will come from Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo can give us garri, why are we shouting? If the governors of southwest cannot put all these together, they should resign.
“It will be a shame to the southwest governors if they allow the northerners to bring food and go back to farming, within a short period of time, we will bounce back.
“You don’t need to beg them to bring food, let us leave them, though this will lead to recession, and hijackers will start attacking the rich, 2023, unexpected will consume our expectation.
“The price of commodities is high now, let us suffer, the North should keep their food, that is only when the southern governors will know what to do.”
