Yari To Hungry Nigerians: If You’re Not Lazy, You’ll Have Food

Abdulaziz Yari has told Nigerians that anyone who is not lazy will have food on his table.

The former Zamfara governor is the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign council.

Yari said this during the APC’s presidential campaign rally in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital.

He began by acknowledging the complaints about hardship, saying: “Just as I said, we have hunger.”

He then turned to the crowd and asked: “Akwa Ibom people, from where I came from, we have food in the market.”

Yari’s Market Test

He asked: “I don’t know, in Akwa Ibom, is there any person who took his money to the market and found out there’s no rice?”

He pressed further: “You didn’t answer me. Is there anybody with money in his pocket who goes to the market to get foodstuffs and says that there’s no foodstuffs in the market?”

Yari said if there is no food in the market, that is what should be called hunger.

He added: “But anyone who is not a lazy person, definitely he would have food on his table.”

Defending Tinubu’s Record

While defending President Tinubu’s economic policies, Yari cited what he described as a dip in food prices.

He urged Nigerians to vote Tinubu for a second term, noting that the administration’s performance should form the basis of the APC’s campaign.

According to him: “As we promised Nigerians, we are going to campaign with our numbers, with what we have done for Nigerians. Based on that, Nigerians, we requested them to give us a second chance.”
