Obidient Movement Slams Onanuga Over Hunger Comments

The Obidient Movement issued a strong condemnation of remarks made by Bayo Onanuga, the presidential spokesman, who stated during an interview that he did not perceive the level of hunger that people were complaining about in Nigeria. The movement characterized Onanuga's comments as a profound insult to millions of Nigerians who are struggling daily to survive.

They emphasized that the current administration, led by President Bola Tinubu, is dangerously detached from the realities confronting the populace, particularly during a time when families are skipping meals and businesses are shutting down due to insecurity. The statement highlighted the rising costs of basic necessities, such as rice, bread, and eggs, and criticized the government's leadership since the All Progressives Congress (APC) assumed power in 2015.

The Obidient Movement's media communication director described the comments as grossly insensitive and indicative of the administration's disdain for the suffering of Nigerians.
