The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said that the rate of hunger and poverty in Nigeria was not just statistics but real.
Obi said this in a post on his X handle on Monday, saying that the harsh reality was that millions of Nigerians were grappling with food shortages and multi-dimensional poverty at a scale never before seen in the country.
He says that Our nation requires leaders who will put the people first, manage resources prudently, and stand firm in rejecting corrupt practices.
It will be recalled that the United Nations stated that about 34 million Nigerians will face acute food insecurity.
