Obi expresses concerns over UN warning on Northern Nigeria’s food crisis

Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), raised concerns about a United Nations warning regarding a worsening food crisis in Northern Nigeria. He emphasized the need for urgent government action to address the issue, noting that northern Nigeria, historically a food-producing region, is now facing significant challenges. Obi highlighted that over 17 million people in nine northern states are experiencing crisis-level hunger, with over 35 million Nigerians potentially at risk during the lean season. He also pointed out that more than 10,000 residents in Borno face catastrophic hunger conditions due to insecurity and lack of access to farmland. Obi called for improved security, investment in rural infrastructure, and collaboration with international organizations like the World Food Programme (WFP) to mitigate the crisis.
