Reports that Ukraine is supplying food to Nigeria are referred to by Peter Obi as a “National Disgrace.”

The Nigerian government has come under heavy fire from former presidential candidate Peter Obi for accepting a 25,000-ton wheat contribution from Ukraine, calling it a “national disgrace.” Obi thanks Ukraine and emphasizes how ironic it is for a country rich in natural resources and human capital to need on assistance from a war-torn nation. In order to solve systemic failures, he highlights the necessity of visionary leadership, smart resource management, and a change in national goals. Obi commends Ukraine for its kindness but challenges Nigerian leaders to avoid the disgrace of relying on foreign aid for basic needs by concentrating on important areas such as manufacturing, security, and agriculture.

In his comprehensive statement, Peter Obi reflects on the disparities between Nigeria and Ukraine in terms of land usage, GDP per capita, and agricultural productivity. He calls for a concerted effort to invest in productive sectors, address insecurity, and support small businesses to propel Nigeria towards a productive and self-sufficient future within the next 4 to 5 years.
