The Labour Party presidential candidate during the last election, Mr Peter obi, has expressed disappointment in the government following the recent donation made by Ukraine.
He described the gesture as disheartening in a recent post
on X.
“As laudable as Ukraine’s kind gesture is, it speaks volumes
for us as a people endowed with all needed human and natural resources, that a
country officially prosecuting a brutal war of national survival with its
powerful neighbour, Russia, is generous enough with their food supplies to help
us who are officially at peace,” he wrote.
Obi stressed the importance of good governance and the need
for the government to reorder national priorities.
“It is disheartening that our once economically confident
nation, blessed with vast arable land and abundant natural resources, now
relies on war-torn Ukraine for food.
“This national disgrace stems from years of leadership
failure, necessitating urgent reflection and reordering of our national
priorities and resource management and allocation.
“We must aggressively reorder our priorities by investing
resources in productive sectors like Agriculture. Addressing insecurity is
crucial for farmers to return to their fields, enabling a productive
manufacturing sector and supporting small businesses.”
Obi added that if the government followed this strategy, it
would lead to a productive and new Nigeria in five years.
He went further to thank the Ukraine government for their
generous donation, “This act of human solidarity testifies to a rare generosity
of spirit which should earn them greater global solidarity.”
