The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has admitted that President Bola Tinubu is having some challenges.
To this end, Idris said Nigeria’s decision to accept grains from Ukraine does not mean the country is weak or a failed state.
Recall that the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, had condemned the decision of Nigeria to accept grains as donation from Ukraine.
Obi had described Ukraine’s grain donation to Nigeria as disheartening.
Reacting at the Leadership Annual Conference and Award 2023 on Tuesday in Abuja, the minister dismissed such claim, stressing that Egypt was not a failed state despite getting about 60 percent of its grains from Ukraine.
