Who is hoarding the bags of rice that Buhari is unveiling?

If the Federal Government does not sell rice to households, and retailers, it shouldn't spend public funds displaying meaningless pyramids.
Buhari need not have an expo to showcase a spoon of rice. When there's sufficiency in production, it will tell in the economy as it will self reflect in the prices in which such product is sold in the market. The government needn't spend public funds transporting truck loads of rice to Abuja for jamboree photo display, and sooner to their huts. If there is so much rice as the government is claiming, then, somebody is in control of this market and the price rise. Unfortunately, this government always fails the truth test, as his former Minister of Agriculture, in the person of Audu Ogbeh once said Nigeria will start exporting yam. Till date, there's nothing tangible to show for it. In his remark, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria said that as at the end of 2021, CBN had financed 4.5 million farmers that cultivated 5.3 million hectares across 21 commodities through 23 Participating Financial Institutions, across Nigeria including FCT The Government of Buhari is not planning on exporting rice off the coast of Nigeria, like his government proposed to export yam as suggested by the former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh. Both rice and yam are not near enough for domestic consumption as prices have not plunged. A sized bag of rice in Nigeria still stands at around 25,000, to 30-35,000 naira. Who is in charge of telling the lies to this man. Is it Lai Mohammed? Or he's simply too old to understand the Buharinomics that didn't work in 1983-1985 won't function in 2022? You cannot build something upon nothing

Gov Rochas Okorocha denies dumping APC

“Now our response to the unfounded story; Imo people do not support stolen tickets and that is why all those who stole the guber tickets of their parties for the 2019 election cannot fly. They have become stranded and looking for who to blame for their woes or misfortune. They know this fact. Imo people do not support anything stolen. That was the reason they dealt with 419ers in 1997”. The statement read further that, “it was out of frustration that those concerned came up with the story of Governor Okorocha leaving APC for AA, which is not true. “With the ill-gotten ticket, they have also seen that the sound of bitter-kola in the mouth does not reflect its real taste. They used blackmail and what they know how to do best to get the ticket of the party and their challenge now is how to convince Imo people to vote for them. “In their blackmail in Abuja they told their audience that they would win Imo without Rochas Okorocha.
