Onokpasa stated that the hunger crisis in Nigeria is embarrassing, especially since the President had promised to eliminate hunger if elected.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Jesutega Onokpasa has called out President Bola Tinubu.
He lamented over the soaring food prices caused by President Bola Tinubu's government.
In an interview with Arise News on Monday, Onokpasa stated that the hunger crisis in Nigeria is embarrassing, especially since the President had promised to eliminate hunger if elected.
“What Asiwaju promised us is that if we help him get to power he is going to produce food massively to feed Nigerians.
“We didn’t envisage this bizarre level of comfortability with prices just skyrocketing out of control”, he said.
Onokpasa continued, “I don’t know what happened to Asiwaju, in fact I’m a catholic and I will book masses for him. Whatever is happening let God deliver him from it.
“How can you be a president and prices of food are skyrocketing? if we can’t reduce the price of fuel can’t we feed people?
“Why is Asiwaju so reluctant to invest in Agriculture, he asked. “Nigerians are hungry and it is shameful that President Tinubu seems detached from the reality of the people”.
