The economic hardship rocking Nigeria seems to be affecting everyone. Not even Joe Igbokwe, a close ally of President Tinubu and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is spared.
Things got out of hand on Friday, when Igbokwe could no longer hide his pain.
Out of frustration, the APC chieftain took to social media.
Joe Igbokwe, who sold Tinubu as the right man for the job during the 2023 election, echoed that those who will rescue Nigeria are not yet born.
Igbokwe made the remark in the wake of the high cost of food prices in the country.
Posting on Facebook, the APC chieftain revealed his surprise when his wife told him the price of a bag of rice.

“With all the rice mills we have in Nigeria, my wife just told me that a bag of rice is now 100k plus.
“Without sounding immodest, I am constrained to say that the men and women that will rescue this country from self-inflicted pains and tears are not born yet,” he wrote.
