A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Alwan Hassan, has sparked reactions online after claiming that Nigerians are not as hungry as opposition parties portray them.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday night, November 10, Hassan dismissed claims by opposition parties that the 2027 election would be a contest between President Bola Tinubu and hungry Nigerians.
He described the narrative as opposition rhetoric, arguing that it was being used as a campaign strategy.
“That is opposition rhetoric. People are not that hungry. That is opposition rhetoric, and this is what they do to always campaign. People are not that hungry the way the opposition are portraying it. I will say it anywhere. People are not that hungry,” he said.
Hassan also argued that falling food prices had affected farmers, claiming that some were complaining about reduced prices in the market.
According to him, the development was linked to the Federal Government’s decision to import food and reduce market prices.
His comments have attracted attention online amid ongoing public debate over the cost of living and the economic conditions facing Nigerians.
