Tenebe: Farmers Are Going Back To The Farm, It Shows That The Issue Of Insecurity Is Being Tackled

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Jarrett Tenebe, has cited reports of farmers returning to their farms as an indication that efforts to address insecurity in Nigeria are being tackled.

Tenebe made the statement during an interview on TVC on Sunday, October 25, 2026, while discussing the performance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and developments in the country.

His remarks focused on the relationship between security conditions in farming communities and the ability of farmers to return to their agricultural activities.

According to the Edo State APC chairman, the reported willingness of farmers to resume farming activities suggests that the issue of insecurity is receiving attention.

He argued that the development could be viewed as a sign of progress in addressing the security challenges that have affected agricultural activities in some parts of the country.

In his words, “Farmers are saying that they are going back to the farm, so it shows that the issue of insecurity is being tackled.” Tenebe’s statement highlights the importance of security to agricultural production and the livelihoods of farming communities.

Insecurity has been a concern in parts of Nigeria, where attacks, threats and other security challenges have disrupted farming activities and affected the movement of people and agricultural goods.

For farmers to cultivate their land, harvest their crops and transport their produce to markets, they need an environment in which they can work without fear of attacks. Disruptions to farming can also affect food supplies, household incomes and the prices consumers pay for agricultural products.

The APC chairman’s comments suggest that he considers farmers’ reported return to their farms an encouraging development in the effort to address insecurity.

However, his statement did not identify the specific communities where farmers were returning to work or provide figures to establish the extent of the reported development.
