Dino Melaye Says Hunger in Nigeria has Gotten Worse as People Now Search Trash to Eat
Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has expressed deep concern over the worsening hardship in Nigeria, saying the situation keeps getting worse by the day. Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Melaye described the hunger crisis as alarming, noting that many Nigerians can no longer afford to eat.
“We’ve never been in a condition this bad,” he said. “The level of hunger in this country is beyond explanation. People in rural areas are dying of malnutrition. Some have even resorted to searching through trash just to find something to eat.”
He blamed the harsh realities on the current administration, stressing that Nigerians are facing suffering they’ve never experienced before. Melaye also criticized the APC-led government, claiming it has failed to steer the country in the right direction.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
