Lies and propaganda


From which farms did the produce come from? Or is it the one that the whole middle belt region can't go to their farms cos of Fulani herdsmen

Including d rejected yams??

Still we don't see the money.

this government and propaganda be like 5 & 6.

Non oil export doesn't entirely mean Agricultural export. As a matter of fact, agricultural export in Nigeria is nearly non existence. Publication of unaudited data won't help in making it a reality.

Yet haters and enemies of progress keep ridiculing PMB's work.

God punish haters.
