My people, this matter no be small one o! House of Representatives don waka enter gbas gbos over agricultural money wey dem allocate una no wan sabi wahala. Dem ad hoc committee wey dey investigate agricultural subsidies don begin gree for the banks and agencies wey dey ignore dem invitations since 2015.
For National Assembly Complex for Abuja, dem dey vex as NIRSAL Microfinance Bank, Central Bank of Nigeria, SunTrust Bank and others no show face for the grilling session. Dem don say enough is enough, no more time for play, and dem go drag dem go court if dem no comply.
Chairman of the committee, Jamo Aminu, no fit hide im mind as e talk say: “E dey pain me say some agencies dey japa like say dem no dey under the law. E no good; we go drag una come here o!” Na him for the motion wey he carry go if them no come face dem committee.
The committee dey go deep into how agriculture money, as for Anchor Borrowers’ Programme and all those big schemes bin dey disappear like magic. Na wetin dem don achieve since wey plenty money don enter for agriculture? No dey hide dem figures o, we wan see wetin una don do with di cash.
Some banks like Jaiz Bank and Access Bank show face but dem no fit give better information. Na wetin make di committee boil with anger, dem don order say make all di heads of concerned institutions show for the next sitting. Dem go even follow dem go do forensic reviews and check all dem farms to see if di money dey work.
Deputy chairman, Sunday Umeha, don yan say this investigation na serious matter. E talk say: “No food security, no national security.” E mean say if Nigeria no fit feed imsef, e dey hard to say we go get peace for di country. We need to see cause and effect if not, this money wey don go down di drain no go make sense.
The good citizens of naija wan see how dem dey manage di money wey government don pack for agriculture. With food prices dey rise like rocket, people no fit trust say di funds dey reach di farmers wey need am. Di way wey food inflation dey rise, e plenty question dey show for faces of hungry Nigerians.
