ACF chair, Ogbeh warns North destroying self

Irked by the backwardness of the region, Ogbeh, in an exclusive interview with The Guardian asked politicians to rediscover themselves and their region for purposeful socio-economic and political development. He said there was need for stakeholders to work together in a productive manner, warning leaders to save the North by repositioning it for brighter future and ensuring end to senseless killings.

“This crisis is destroying the society. We are very distressed. But you ask, why are these crises happening now? I believe that, over the years, we must have made very serious mistakes. In development, the North is far behind the South. OGBEH also lamented the dwindling fortune of the northern region, pointing out that it had lost its place as the third largest producer of groundnuts in the world, after the United States and Argentina.

“We are deeply worried. That’s why we have started meeting and talking. We are looking for solutions and we want to join hands with our governors and legislatures to see what we can do.”
