I know that this will do before that, but we must deal with that. It is easy, it is un-difficult. We must make sure that it is available and sanction that and not working today. India introduces variety of rice about 100 every year and sanction that is produced one in five years. Who will get it to work? Who will bring government? So what do you wish to be when and what do you want? We will deal with it, but I know that the government is worried and they're talking about insecurity. Yes, it is a problem and I've told you, it's not the one thing we will deal with decisively. We'll make it responsive and responsible, but I don't want to take chances. The Iowa Joint Committee insisted that the interactive sessions with the presidential candidates are not a political campaign, but to x-ray the policy positions of the candidates, enumerate what the North stands to benefit from, and to also meet minds on some fundamental issues as regards the future of Nigeria.
