The Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, has described Nigerians who rely on markets as lazy. “Do you expect Tinubu to moderate the prices of garri in the market? Do you expect Tinubu to come and give you yam to feed your family?” Nwaebonyi then argued that those who fail to produce food despite having the capacity to do so are responsible for their dependence on markets. The senator defended the Tinubu administration’s performance, particularly in infrastructure, saying the government had made significant progress in road construction.
