Wednesday, November 11, 2026 -The All-Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, Alwan Hassan, has blasted the opposition to stop lying, stating that Nigerians are not as hungry as they are portraying them.
Hassan made this statement on Tuesday while fielding
questions in an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today. This is
coming amid widespread concerns over the rising cost of living.
He was responding to the opposition's description of the
2027 political contest as a battle between President Bola Tinubu and hungry
Nigerians.
The APC chieftain dismissed the description as opposition
rhetoric, insisting that the situation is being exaggerated for political
purposes.
"That is opposition rhetoric. People are not that
hungry. They should stop lying.
"People are not that hungry the way the opposition is
portraying it. And I'll say it anywhere. People are not that hungry," he
stated.
According to him, the opposition is using hunger as a
campaign tool to win sympathy, and not because the situation on the ground is
as bad as they claim.
He further said that Nigerians are going about their normal
businesses, insisting that they are going to markets and to work, living their
lives, and that the picture being painted by the opposition does not reflect
that reality.
His comment came days after the Director-General of the APC
Presidential Campaign Council, Abdulaziz Yari, also dismissed cries of
widespread hunger in the country.
