Mr. Thomas Yahaya Avong precise words
MOBILISATION EFFORT AGAINST THE RULING APC BY AGGRIEVED AFJP ENUMERATORS.
“Following an earlier publication by the Youth for Agriculture and Rural Transformation a group of aggrieved AFJP Enumerators mobilized the 8 million registered AFJP farmers to vote against the ruling APC government at both national and state levels. The group has utilized a great opportunity to test-run its earlier resolve.
“The Co-ordinator was summoned by the village head and farmers of an undisclosed farming community in Nasarawa state following the onset of the rainy season. The farmer’s invitation was to know their fate concerning the promised AFJP loan and fertilizer subsidy they registered for to improve their production capacity, the community which has a total of over 500 Farmers present at the meeting also wants the Co-ordinator to plead with the government to come to their aid seeing that they have benefited nothing from the government.

“In response, the coordinator express great displeasure and disappointment over the financing and running of the AFJP program by government. He pointed out that:
“The program has the capability to lift millions of rural farmers from poverty as it directly identifies the real farmers who need support, unlike other programs where non-farmers divert funds meant for the real farmers.
“This government has chosen to allow some saboteurs and corrupt enemies of development to sabotage, delay and play politics with budgeted money that is meant for Agric and rural development including the remuneration of Spirited Enumerators who registered the farmers.
“The Co-ordinator also informed farmers that from available information from the office of the Director of Extension the payment of Enumerators would commence in less than 10 days from now after which Farmers would be considered. But that has been the trend since last year from one deception to another yet no commitment and action.
“Finally the Co-ordinator advised farmers to make good use of their voter’s Card against the APC candidates if government fail to keep to their promise. The response of the farmers would be better imagined.
ENUMERATORS:
“Owing to the fact that some pressing reasons have stopped most of us from coming to Abuja to register our displeasure over the failure of government to pay our entitlements The Youth for Agriculture and rural transformation would build upon this model of mobilization and create a blueprint that would be replicated Nationwide using our structure of aggrieved Enumerators if payment of Enumerators is not made before 12/5/2022 as promised.”
