An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Alwan Hassan, has criticised the opposition for claiming that Nigerians are hungry, insisting the situation is being exaggerated.
Hassan made the remarks on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, amid ongoing concerns about the rising cost of living.He was responding to opposition figures who have framed the 2027 election as a contest between President Bola Tinubu and hungry Nigerians. Hassan dismissed the characterisation as political rhetoric.
“That is opposition rhetoric. People are not that hungry. They should stop lying,” he said. “People are not that hungry the way the opposition is portraying it. And I’ll say it anywhere. People are not that hungry.”According to him, the opposition is using hunger as a campaign tool to gain sympathy rather than reflecting the true situation on the ground.
He added that Nigerians are still going about their normal activities, attending markets and workplaces, and living their lives, contrary to the picture painted by critics.Hassan’s comments come days after Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, also rejected claims of widespread hunger in the country.
