Paul Edoh: Apa-Agatu Activist Lauds Lawmaker for Modern Agricultural Equipment Donation
*Makurdi, Benue State*
In a surprising show of support, renowned Apa-Agatu activist Paul Edoh has commended Hon. Pastor Ojotu Ojema, the federal lawmaker representing the Apa-Agatu constituency, for his recent donation of modern power tiller machines. This gesture marks a notable departure from Edoh’s usual criticism of the lawmaker, reflecting a potential shift towards progress in the Constituency’s agricultural practices.
On June 21, 2025, at the Oche’Adogoji Palace, Hon. Ojema presented these innovative farming tools to HRH Chief James Ochoche Edoh and Mr. Andeli Ohaba, heralding a new era in local agriculture.
“This initiative is not just about equipment; it represents a commitment to enhance productivity and modernize farming methods within our community,
” Comrade Edoh stated on the constituency’s social media platform.
The donation follows previous criticism of the lawmaker’s earlier charitable efforts, highlighting the urgent need for improved agricultural practices in a constituency that has long depended on traditional farming methods. Edoh noted,
“While this is a commendable step, it is crucial that support extends beyond traditional leadership connections to benefit all farmers in the constituency.”
Furthermore, Edoh emphasized the importance of collaborating with local government officials and enhancing the efforts of local vigilante groups to ensure the safety of farmers, thereby fostering a secure environment that encourages the adoption of modern agricultural practices.
As this initiative unfolds, the eyes of the community will remain on Hon. Ojema, with hopes that this commitment will lead to transformative changes in agriculture across Apa and Agatu.
