Abdulaziz Yari, director-general of Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, argued that food remained available in markets despite hardship as the party sought a second term for President Bola Tinubu.
BusinessDay reported that Yari made the remarks Friday at an APC campaign rally in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom state. He asked whether residents with money had gone to local markets and found no rice or other food. “Anyone who is not a lazy person, definitely would have food on his table,” Yari said.
On Thursday in Ekiti, Yari said food prices were trending downward and challenged opposition parties to explain how their proposed policies would differ from Tinubu’s administration, BusinessDay reported. He said the APC would campaign on its record and asked voters to give Tinubu a second term.
