Obiano made this known in Abuja on Friday, August 11, 2017 when he submitted his governorship nomination form at the national headquarters of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

Obiano said, “In agriculture, the state is doing very well and has attained self-sufficiency in rice production. We consume 320,000 metric tonnes and now we produce 375,000 metric tonnes per annum, from 80,000 metric tonne when we assumed office.
