North's biggest challenge is economy, not politics - Audu Ogbeh calls for economic focus.

A renowned northern leader, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has called on northerners who are essentially peasant farmers struggling with economic hardship to focus less on politics and more on building the region's economy.

Made this call in a discussion with journalist on THE FATE OF THE NORTH AFTER BUHARI, where he emphasized the need for northerners to prioritize economic development and industrialization to boost the region's economy and provide stability and prosperity for its people.

He held governors responsible for all the economic and security challenges in the North, stating that many of them are not doing enough to promote economic growth and development in their respective states, which is exacerbating the region's problems.

The Northern statesman stressed the need for economic development, industrialization, and investment in agriculture, noting that the North's lack of industrial base and poor agricultural practices are major contributors to its economic woes and poverty.

According to him, "politics should be the least important thing on our table because the economy is not good," emphasizing that northerners must prioritize economic growth and development to achieve stability and prosperity in the region.
