Blockade Of Food To The South Is A Wrong Move – ACF

The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has come out to urge the leadership of the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and cattle dealers to stop their so-called embargo and blockade.

Chief Audu Ogbe, National Chairman ACF recently revealed this to the media, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the ACF shared the concerns of Nigerians over the decision of the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and cattle dealers to stop movements of needed food from the north to the south, and a solution must be provided.

He added that ACF leadership is willing to help members of the union who were affected by the EndSARS protests solve their issues by talking to security agencies and the government.

His words, “The members of the union are said to have suffered severe losses during the #Endsars riots and the recent violence in Sasha in Oyo state targeted against northerners.”

“We believe that whatever may be the difficulties of their members in operating in other parts of the country, ACF leadership led by me is willing to help them solve these by talking to security agencies and the government.”

“There is no need mounting a blockade by one section of the country against the other. Whatever may be our differences, the ACF as an ardent believer in free trade believes that goods should be allowed to move freely.”

“This extreme measure is not progressive and even counterproductive. This is not the way to go.”
