We all know that some unscrupulous people will try to twist whatever Peter Obi says to mean another thing, just because they want their preferred candidate to win. They see Obi as a threat, and rightly so, he is. But nobody should allow misrepresentation fly.

They are now saying that Peter Obi is against drop in food prices, that it would make local farmers poor. But this what Obi said

"Someone told me that food prices have gone down. Actually, we have killed all our farmers. Because we have imported cheap goods and thrown our farmers into poverty which will worsen the hungry situation of Nigeria in the coming future"

What I believe Obi was trying to tell Nigerians here is that the seeming drop in food prices was due to importation, which would adversely affect affect local production in the future

Opinion discarded!

No one cares whatever warped opinion you have.

We all watched the video of him ranting foolishly like the imbe hhe is.

OBI is an unfortunate man claiming patriotic. Someone said by himself he is not happy food price has drop hear you creating Senseless thread with what you believe he said, keep that believe to yourself

What Peter Obi said was true. Rather than invest in local farmers so they increase their output and lower prices, they decided to import cheap products, which will eventually make us import dependent in the near future.

If OBJ hadn’t empowered Dangote to produce cement and other products in Nigeria, and had instead relied on imports, cost of building and construction would’ve been very high today.

How many local farmers did obi invested or empowered in anambra before opening his next importation supermarket in Fct.

💯 Of the product sold in his supermarket are imported from abroad.


Obi does not think before opening his mouth.

Obi has shown to be an hypocrite.

I don't know why his people are not ashamed of him.

What's with this attempt to turn black to white in the full glare of everyone?

I mean why try to give another interpretation to what we all heard and understood.

This isn't about him alone, it's same thing for other politicians and their minions thinking the rest of us are incapable of understanding basic English

The wire that connects Obi's brain with his mouth don cut!

We all watched the video, why trying to change the narrative?

And your point , we should keep the prices of food high so that famers can be happy and millions of Nigeria will die hungry ...

No difference between Obi and his supporters

If obi is wise who would not have said that. For him to say we have killed our farmers is very wrong.
Obi has just taken advice from a madman again

Don't you people have any shame with your ridiculous lies

Have you seen the video by yourself

Abeg, make una stop this blind support of na our own. Someone you want the best for, you should be able to correct them when they made mistakes

Since Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa have been rightly jailed and ESN and IPOB are in disarray I can see that you want to shift your falsehood and propaganda to Peter Obi now?
Mr Gaslighter, everyone heard what Peter Obi said about farmers loud and clear. He spoke in English and not in Ibo. We all heard and understood his position,therefore nobody needs your fake interpretation.
Here is Obi,in his own words.

OP, I said it once and I’ll say it again.


That’s not how to play politics, people are enjoying the massive crash in food stuffs yet your principal doesn’t like that, he wants the farmers to continue HOLDING US to RANSOM with their ridiculous prices, lol.
Imagine a Congo of imported rice to be 4500 and our local farmers with their unrefined rice pegged theirs too at 4000, now tell me how it makes sense Abeg!. Abhi you didn’t also buy the rice too? Oyinbo rice were imported o, while our own was made locally and yet the price difference wasn’t even felt, lol.

If I were Peter Obi, I would have commended the price of foods coming down but add the clause that FG can do better with the price of other goods and services. That would have been better than his earlier reckless statement claiming the farmers will suffer

Yeah, and your government is releasing hundreds of Boko haram, negotiating with terrorists, giving armed bandits peace deal and amnesty. Don't you feel safer?

Tinubu will never release that your lunatic terrorist leader.

Obi will never EVER smell Aso Rock.

Iran is now pushing Israel and America's shit in.

You will never get your Biafra that you dream of

You see this lamba King's statement, there is no way you can twist it, because this was not his stand when the prices of food was going up.

Please ask your lamba king, the fake 'mess-liar' of our time to tell us what food exactly is being imported. It is tomatoes, yam, beans, palm oil, plantain, banana, garri, soya beans?

We know what he said and we understand that he is not happy that food is reducing so that he can have something to campaign with next year. That is if he is even able to win the primaries.

I disagree with Mr Obi.The high prices of food in 2024 forced many people to farm last year and God was so merciful last year in giving us abundant rainfall leading to bumber harvest hence the fall in food prices.

While I understood his argument that food importation would kill local food production and farmer's business, I must say that the food importation is necessary at this period because when nigerian farmers were given the opportunity to feed the nation during Buhari regime and early part of Tinubu regime, they almost kill us with food inflation, hunger and famine. They deliberately created artificial scarcity in order to increase the price. They thrown the country into chaos for their selfish gain. They make bumper profit at the masses expenses. And, instead of using these greedily acquired profit to improve and enlarge their business, they were spending as if there will be no tomorrow.

I keep on maintaining it that an average nigerian should not be given monopolistic advantage for any essential commodity. Let them compete locally and globally.

It’s fine to defend your favorite candidate, but in this case, you’re missing a key point: standing by his statement risks pushing away the voters he desperately needs. Think about it—compare Nigeria’s farmer population (who might back his words) to the far larger group of everyday people thriving on today’s lower food prices. I hope that lands now.

You said it yourself. "What you believe Obi is trying to say". That's your own opinion! You have no rights to impose it on others!
