The Opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress APC on the launch of the 15 rice pyramids in Abuja on Tuesday.
Describing the rice pyramids as Pyramids of lies, the PDP said the APC has staged a media stunt to deceive Nigerians ahead of the 2023 general elections.
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary,Debo Ologunaba , the party said “it is shameful that APC leaders are 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 the local production of rice as the APC wants Nigerians to believe,how come the price of rice has not come down but continued 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?.”
The Party said that despite the lies and deceits churned out by the APC, the fact remains that Nigerians have seen the difference and no amount of lies can help the party in 2023.
