Press Statement

PDP Mocks Buhari, APC Over Unveiling of Bogus Rice Pyramids
…Says They’re Pyramids of Lies

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mocks the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its government for staging another shameless media stunt to again beguile Nigerians ahead of 2023 elections with the unveiling of bogus rice pyramids in Abuja, which are now known as “pyramids of lies”.

Nigerians are already aware and the pictures abound of how the APC and its government “create” fake pyramids of rice with sandbags and re-bagged rice stacked on pyramid shaped wooden structures as busted in an APC-controlled state in the Southwest in 2018.

Of course, there is nothing to celebrate in the APC pyramid of lies in Abuja. It is rather shameful that APC leaders are again ridiculing President Muhammadu Buhari by making him unveil pyramids of allegedly imported foreign rice which are re-bagged as locally produced, just to create an impression of a boost in local production under his watch.

If indeed, there is a boost in local production of rice as the APC wants Nigerians to believe, how come the price of rice has not come down but continues to soar from about N8,000 per bag which the PDP handed over to the APC in 2015 to about N30,000 per bag today?

It is on record that the PDP turned the waterland of various states of our nation into huge rice production hubs with farms and mills springing up across the country, leading to a boost in local production, drastic drop in imports and the celebrated affordable prices of food products under the PDP administration.

Painfully, the APC, with its incompetence, counter-productive policies and incurable corruption reversed all the gains made by the PDP in the agricultural sector and triggered a decline in production which resulted in the high cost of food in our country today.

Nigerians can recall how APC-led administration failed to protect our farmers and particularly how it blamed over 40 rice farmers killed by terrorists in Borno state instead of going after their assailants.

The APC pyramids of lies are therefore nothing but huge signposts of their failures and irredeemable proclivity for lies, deception, beguilement and fake performance claims even in the face of unbearable high costs of food, 22.95 percent food inflation rate and our nation’s ranking as 98th out of 107 in Global Hunger Index.

It is clear that with the 2023 elections in sight, the APC is desperate in pushing its stock-in-trade, pyramid of lies, propaganda, deceit and bogus claims with which they stole power in 2015.

What the APC has not realized is that 2023 is not 2015. Nigerians have seen through APC deceits and not even these “pyramids of lies” can help the APC in 2023.

Pyramid of lies

Congratulations

okay

They'll say they spent N33bn to mount those bags of rice.

If there is bumper harvest it will reflect in the market.
It is indeed a pyramid of APC lies.

How could we trust a story from PDP

How much did your Governor spend on the one he did?

adamsmith914:
Lazy Mumu because one million bags of rice can feed 200 million people?

How many bags of rice did you contribute? because your mates should bring jollof rice for you to come & consume?

Nonsense.

Mugu if it can't feed 200 million Nigerians why are they making noise about it?
Yahoo Yahoo Gunment.

1 million bag of rice to feed 200 million Nigeria. Each Nigerian will eat just 1 and half cup.

What an achievements!

This tenure would be the last time APC would smell power again so let them enjoy their fraud while it lasts.

you don see APC finish.

APC keep disgracing themselves with all kinds of useless trick.


APC is a fraud

It's not new. As expected.

Nonsense.

According to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Nigeria now produces 8 million tones to become the largest producer of rice in Afica,ahead of Egypt and 13th position in the world.

Nigeria also has one of the largest National Social Investment Programmes in the world, like the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP), Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), N-Power,etc.

Nigeria is the Infrastructure capital of Africa, with about 850 federal roads and bridges either completed or nearing completion. Massive railway revolution, Airports/Seaports world class rehabilitation and water dam projets.

With the digital economic revolution, Nigeria is set for complete cashless and paperless economy by 2030, we have become one of the leading countries in Information Technology in Africa.

PDP's ranting is understandable but inconsequential, having massively looted valuable resources during their years of the locust.

I laugh in Swahili

Comrades, please lower your voice

APC is just cursed with the trait of shameless lying. Of what use is lying about "pyramids of rice" when the killer herdsmen and their bandits compatriots have not even allowed farmers access to farms with the looming food insecurity?

Is there anything that this government will do without trying to deceive people? Come rice pyramid. Last year alone, I farmed over 25bags and I'm at mid 20s without government support and without borrowing money. Those that collected govt loans cannot organize a pyramid without lying about it. Shame on these people

so shall it be,no need rewarding failure

We are not surprised

No be APC again?

We are waiting for them at the polls in 2023
... I hope my fellow Nigerians vote wisely these time because APC has done so much harm in the life of Nigerians

I can't wait for this APC government to come to an end. Lies upon lies every blessed day.

They will meet their Waterloo in 2023

Pyramid of deceit ..

Who cares about these bags of sand sef

Allegedly

Truly, it was a pyramid of lies

Pyramid of sand bags

Pyramid of deceit


Pyramid of propaganda

While it is easy to brandish some unverifiable statistics that Nigeria is producing a bogus 8million tons of rice.

But, we can not dispute the fact that as at 2015 a minimum wage of ₦18000 could afford at least two bags of rice while as at today, with a minimum wage of ₦30,000, one is unable to comfortably buy a bag of rice

Anything related to APC, is fraud, SC, deception, mago mago, wayo, all the negative adjectives that you know of

"...Nigerians can recall how APC-led administration failed to protect our farmers and particularly how it blamed over 40 rice farmers killed by terrorists in Borno state instead of going after their assailants..."

This particular one pained me I swear because I found it hard to imagine how human beings could be callous to their fellow man but the situation made me understand on a deeper level how this government really operates

Very well captured!
I honestly don't see how anyone can put up a reasonable response to that.
