Opposition Lamenting As Nigerians Now Say Food Are Too Cheap – Oshiomhole

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said recent economic reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu are yielding positive results, arguing that food prices across the country are beginning to decline.

Oshiomhole made the assertion while responding to questions about what the President would present as key achievements ahead of a possible re-election bid. According to him, the impact of the reforms is already evident in the food market, where prices are reportedly easing after months of sharp increases.

“There are Nigerians now who are saying food is becoming too cheap,” Oshiomhole stated, noting that the development itself has generated fresh political arguments.

He added that some opposition figures have accused the federal government of deliberately manipulating food prices to force them down, a claim he described as proof that the reforms are working. “I even heard some opposition members saying the President is manipulating food prices to crash. So they are angry that the food prices are down,” he said.

The former Edo State governor maintained that the Tinubu administration’s policies, though initially difficult, were designed to stabilise the economy and improve living conditions for Nigerians in the long term.

Oshiomhole’s comments have sparked renewed debate, with supporters of the government citing improved market trends as evidence of progress, while critics argue that food affordability remains a challenge for many households.
