Joe Igbokwe, a prominent figure within the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asserted that the individuals capable of rescuing Nigeria from its current plight have yet to be born.
This statement comes in response to the alarming surge in food prices plaguing the nation. In a recent post on Facebook, Igbokwe expressed his dismay at the escalating costs, particularly noting that a bag of rice has now reached the staggering price of N100,000.
He stated, “Despite the numerous rice mills operational in Nigeria, my wife informed me that the price for a bag of rice has surpassed N100,000.”
In a tone of resignation, he added, “Without intending to be boastful, I must convey that the men and women who will liberate this nation from its self-imposed suffering and anguish have not yet come into existence.”
Igbokwe, a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu, has recently voiced criticism regarding certain policies implemented by the current administration.
