Present starvation buildup earlier than Buhari govt, Tinubu cannot repair all in 9 months – Umahi

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has stated the starvation Nigerians are experiencing is a build-up earlier than former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and that of President Bola Tinubu.

Umahi stated the present starvation was a build-up of insecurity brought on by farmers-herders disaster earlier than the administration of Buhari.

Addressing journalists on Sunday at his Uburu nation house within the Ohaozara Native Authorities Space of Ebonyi State, the minister stated Nigerians mustn’t anticipate Tinubu to repair the issue inside 9 months of assuming energy.

In line with Umahi: “The current starvation that everyone is speaking about, didn’t begin immediately. It’s a construct as much as quite a few components. Earlier than the previous administration and current administration, we’ve got been having a build-up of insecurity, we had farmers/herders clashes over quite a few years at an extended time frame.

“At a time, I used to be the chairman of NEC committee on resolving farmers/herders clashes. So, I went by means of quite a few states particularly the Northern States settling the farmers/herders clashes and it yielded quite a few fruits.

“And so, you anticipate the administration of President Tinubu to repair all these issues inside 9 months, it’s not attainable. So, it’s a cumulative impact of the previous like I’ve talked about.”
