The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the Nigerian government for allegedly manipulating food prices for political advantages. The party highlighted the challenges faced by farmers in affording crucial agricultural inputs, particularly fertilizers, due to the soaring costs.
ADC called for a comprehensive overhaul of the country's agricultural strategies to protect local products, stabilize food prices, and safeguard farmers' livelihoods. The party expressed concerns over the government's misleading narrative on dropping food prices, emphasizing the adverse impact on local farmers.
The statement also questioned the rationale behind hoarding and importing food while millions of Nigerians face hunger.
