Governor Mohammed Umar Bago of APC controlled Niger state says it is shameful that Nigeria is receiving food donations from war-torn Ukraine, re-echoing Peter Obi’s stance.

Mr Bago stated this on Tuesday at the Leadership Award ceremony held at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja. Messrs Bago and Obi were awardees at the event.

“My boss,” the Niger governor told Mr Obi, “you are very right on what you’ve said. “We have no reason to be poor. People may not like you, but they must hear you. What you say is the gospel truth.”

Amplifying Mr Obi’s stance, the governor, a member of President BolaTinubu’s ruling All Progressives Congress, said, “It is time we tell ourselves the basic truth. We need to feed ourselves. It is a shame for people (sic) like Ukraine in war to be giving us food.”

He further said, “Nigeria needs to be productive. You cannot be out of poverty unless you start to produce. I’m not an advocate of handouts and palliative. I don’t believe in it.”

Last week, the Ukrainian government donated 25,000 tonnes of wheat as emergency food assistance to 1.3 million vulnerable, crisis-affected people in the North-East amidst rising inflation and food price spikes.

But Mr Obi said it was “disheartening” and a national disgrace that war-torn Ukraine is donating food to Nigeria.

However, information minister Mohammed Idris did not see anything bad in receiving donations from war-ravaged Ukraine.

“The fact that we are having challenges at the moment does not make Nigeria a failed state,” said Mr Idris. “Therefore, accepting grains from Ukraine does not make Nigeria or Egypt failed countries.”

..now Obi is right.. some people said it is not right what he said...some say it is right...PO is definitely right.. It is a shame that an African so called giant of Africa cannot produce her own food....despite the fertile arable land, weather & water the country is blessed with..

Some foooools were crying PO for even saying the truth and defending their stupidity by comparing other developed country importing grains from Ukraine..

Nigeria is never suppossed to import her food..Africa in General have no reason to import what they should eat..

..some evil creatures because of tribalism & religious bigotry are ready to destroy their own existence for these two reasons..

How can a people who invest in drug trafficking and not agriculture have shame? It is not possible.

Nigeria is now an almajiri state collecting food even from a war torn country. The almajirization of Nigeria has now gone global. Well done to the evil government of Nigeria.

Comprehension isn't as easy as it sounds, now I know.

Playing politics with UN charity intervention program show the kind of politician Peter Obi is, He is a real snake.

Nigeria has not been sufficient in food production for decades and a few months of any new President is not going to change things that quickly, would Peter Obi reject the UN intervention Program that Nigerians in war torn north desperately need if he was the president in charge ?

The Anambra that he governed for 8 years what food production is Anambra self sufficient in with his intervention ?

I want this Peter Agulu to become president even if it is 2 years, this mugu is going to be worst in all indices when he show his true colour.

Over to Reno. What do you have to say?

Work you no gree work, farm you no gree farm, your government collect food to feed you, you still dey complain?

It is true, it is a disgrace that The Ukraine gave Nigeria free grains to feed you, na cornflakes, & pasta with corn beef they for send.

They belittle yourself, at least good that you have confessed that you are an Almijiri living in Nigeria.

One thing you forget is that Tinubu is the president not Obi, and let him Obi become the president first before all your Sudo indices.
"You can not shave a man's head in his absence".

Tinubu is currently the president and he is falling in duties.

I dnt know how Nigeria is faint of Africa? How come re war ravaged country is donating food to Nigeria, there was a country indeed

Umar Bago just told Obi people don't like him.

People no like you but you want force yourself on them with dubious statistics just to get votes

Sane Nigerians have rejected Obi.

It is either Atiku, or BAT.

If Both of them are not in the ballot, give us Saraki and anybody in APC

We say no to mushroom party and candidate
