“North Blocking Food Supply To South-West After Herdsmen Disrupted Farming.” —Yinka Odumakin, Spokesman Afenifere, Yoruba Socio-Cultural Group

“It was unfortunate that after Fulani herdsmen had disrupted farming in the South-West, their northern compatriots could go ahead to impose a food trade restriction on the South-West.”

“For a long time we have been telling our people to prepare for this. We cannot continue to depend on food from the North. We had been feeding ourselves for centuries but they are the ones that have now prevented us from farming on our land because of the attacks on our farmers.”
“But let them know the implication of what they are doing. What if the South says fuel will not be sold to the North? What will they do? Where will they get fuel?”
