Only lazy Nigerians depend on markets for food — Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi The Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, has come under criticism after saying Nigerians who rely on markets for food are “lazy”, as he urged citizens to embrace farming to tackle rising food prices. Nwaebonyi, who represents Ebonyi North Senatorial District, made the statement during an interview on The Mic On Podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye which was published on August 1 with clips going viral on Friday, while defending the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Responding to concerns over food inflation and the rising cost of living, the senator said the government alone could not be held responsible for the prices of commodities in the market, arguing that citizens also had a role to play. “Do you expect Tinubu to moderate the prices of garri in the market?

ROTIMI AMAECHI RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING GOODLUCK JONATHAN FROM OFFICE NOW HE WANTS TO GET SOUTH SOUTH VOTES — WIKE. (PHOTO).


 Rotimi Amaechi responsible for removing Goodluck  Jonathan from office  now he wants to get South South votes — Wike


Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has described former Minister of Transportation and vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chibuike Amaechi, as a political liability with no electoral value in Rivers State or the wider South-South region.


Wike questioned the basis for the emergence of Amaechi as a vice presidential candidate, suggesting it could only be financial rather than a reflection of voting strength.


“I am sure the only factor that has been used to choose Rotimi Amaechi may be financial because the former governor lacks the capacity to deliver votes,” he said.


Citing Amaechi’s electoral record, Wike argued that he had failed to deliver significant votes in Rivers across successive election cycles despite holding high-profile positions.


“He has never won a presidential election after 2011 when I was the Director of Campaign. Never! He was the Director-General of Buhari in 2015 when he was governor; why did he not get 25%?

“He was the DG in 2019 when he was a Super Minister; why did he not get 25%? He supported Atiku in 2023; how come he didn’t get 15%?” he queried.


He further pointed to Amaechi’s opposition to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 re-election bid as reasons the South-South region would reject his national ambitions.


“A South-South person wanted to go for a second term. You were proud you kicked him out. Now, will South-South be happy for you to be Vice President? You think that people have forgotten?” Wike asked.
