The Mayor of Urhoboland and Niger Delta ex-militant leaders, Eshanakpe Israel a.k.a Akpodoro, has called for a concerted efforts against hunger and insecurity in the land. The call, he noted, becomes necessary following recent discoveries that commodity merchants were deliberately hoarding food items and other essentials to create artificial scarcity of goods.
Akpodoro who was unanimously voted to become the Mayor of Urhoboland by the Okpako Orere of Gbaregolor Community in Ewu-Urhobo Kingdom, Ughelli South Local Government Area, Delta State, in his second year anniversary message to Nigerians, titled: “Now is when to wage war against hunger and insecurity in the land,” commended the people of Urhobo nation in particular and Nigerians in general over what he described as their spirit of loyalty, patriotism, solidarity, patience and resilience to hopefully await the renewed hope as promised by the current administration.
He admonished them not relent in their hope for a better and greater Nigeria, noting that in no distance time the gains of the economic adjustment programmes of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration will begin to yield bumper harvest.
Mayor Akpodoro stated further in his anniversary message to the nation that now is when to fight the hydra-headed monster of hunger and those who are deliberately sabotaging the efforts of the government at birthing a new Nigeria.
On insecurity, he commended the Nigerian military, saying: “our military can overrun any criminal gang in this country no matter how much sophisticated they are. I call on President Tinubu to roll out the tanks and face those who have vowed to destroy Nigeria. We have no other country to call our own. This is the reason we must join hands with the government to make notable progress in food security and the security of lives and property.
On cement price hike, he said if the cement producers choose to keep the price high, the government should massively issue licence to other business interests to open the floodgate for cement importation into the country.
