The Secretary of Agriculture and Commodity of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Retson Tedheke, has assured rural farm leaders across the 774 local government areas of Nigeria are prepared to mobilise millions of voters for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tedheke, who made this known while briefing journalists ahead of the Monday inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, said the lead mobilisers were expected to mobilise at least 20,000 farmers in each of 774 local government areas across the country, bringing the figure to 15 million farmers.
The Secretary, who happens to be the national convener of Asiwaju’s Farmers Forum and National Coordinator of Nigerian Farmers Group and Cooperative Society (NFGCS), said his secretariat has the names and contacts of 11,000 registered farmers from the six geo political zones in the country, who will serve as the lead mobilisers in their various states, zones, local government and wards.
He added that with the election of Tinubu as the next President, agriculture will get an entirely different boost.
