“THEY MADE PEOPLE POORER!” Shock as Senator Gaya Blasts Tinubu Govt Over Rice, Maize Imports
A strong political storm is brewing after Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya made a bold claim about the government’s food policies.
The former Kano governor did not hold back as he accused the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu of worsening the suffering of Nigerians.
According to him, the government imported rice and maize to reduce food prices, but the outcome shocked many.
Instead of helping, he said the move made people even poorer.
His words have sparked serious reactions.
Gaya explained that farmers are now struggling badly, revealing that some have to sell three bags of maize just to buy one bag of fertilizer.
For many, that means working hard with little or no profit.
He said complaints from grassroots communities pushed him to rethink his political position, leading to his decision to leave the ruling party.
The statement has now raised fresh questions about the real impact of food importation policies in Nigeria.
While some believe the imports helped reduce prices, others agree with Gaya that it has hurt local farmers deeply.
As Nigerians continue to struggle with high costs, the debate is only getting louder.
