Peter Obi Is Ignorant To Say It’s A “National Disgrace” For Nigeria To Receive Food Aid From Ukraine –Reno.Omokri

By Daniel Dafe

Former Presidential Aide, Reno Omokri, has described Peter Obi as very ignorant for saying that it is a “national disgrace” for Nigeria to receive food aid from Ukraine because it is a war-torn country.

Omokri, said this in a post on X, Monday, while reacting to Obi’s statement

Obi who is the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the last election said while the gesture from Ukraine is laudable, it speaks volumes as to the failures of the Nigerian government to cater for its people.

In his reaction, Omokri, added: “Peter Obi needs to be educated about Ukraine and wheat. Please fact-check me: Egypt received food aid from Ukraine long before Nigeria did. And Egypt is still dependent on Ukraine for 60% of its wheat and much of its fertiliser needs. Yet, Egypt is a country that Peter Obi praises. Obi even went to Egypt to study their economy. The attached photo was taken when Obi was visiting and praising Egypt. In fact, Obi is looking well fed in this photo. Maybe the Egyptians fed him a lot from the wheat donated to them by Ukraine.”

According to the former Presidential aide, “it is not everything that we must politicise,” adding: “Ukraine is the world’s seventh-largest wheat producer, and the war in Ukraine has not affected her position.”

Continuing, he said the whole world was affected when Ukrainian wheat could not hit the market, and the World Trade Organisation, led by a Nigerian, helped to organise a deal with Russia that allowed Ukrainian wheat to get to countries like America. Please Google it.”

“Ukrainian wheat is not only bought by America but it is also being used as food aid to multiple countries. Obi should stop politicising hunger!,” he added.
