Earlier today the Former Anambra State Governor claimed it is “disheartening” and a national disgrace that war-torn Ukraine is donating food to Nigeria. Mr Obi, on Monday on X, commended the Ukrainian government for supporting Nigeria.

“It is disheartening that our once economically confident nation, blessed with vast arable land and abundant natural resources, now relies on a war-torn Ukraine for food assistance,” Mr Obi said. “This national disgrace stems from years of leadership failure, necessitating urgent reflection and a reordering of our national priorities and resource management and allocation.”

Last week, Ukraine donated 25,000 tonnes of wheat as emergency food assistance to 1.3 million vulnerable, crisis-affected people in northeast Nigeria amidst rising inflation and food price spikes.

However, Omokri countered Obi’s stance, arguing that it is ignorant to view aid from Ukraine as a disgrace, especially considering the circumstances. He pointed out that Egypt, a country praised by Obi and where he has even studied the economy, is heavily dependent on Ukraine for wheat and fertilizer, despite receiving aid long before Nigeria.

“It is very ignorant for Peter Obi to say that it is a “national disgrace” for Nigeria to receive food aid from Ukraine because it is a war-torn country. 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.”

Omokri highlighted the significance of Ukraine in global wheat production, emphasizing that the war has not significantly impacted its position as the seventh-largest producer. He urged Obi to refrain from politicizing hunger, citing examples of Ukrainian wheat being used for aid to multiple countries, including the United States.

“It is not everything that we must politicise. Ukraine is the world’s seventh-largest wheat producer, and the war in Ukraine has not affected her position. 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!.”
