A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima has expressed his grievances on the current crash in food prices in the country, saying, it is the President Bola Tinubu administration’s plot to destroy the northern’s economy.
Truth Live News Media reports that he expressed his resentment while speaking on DCL Hausa.
Galadima explained the cause of the food price is because the federal government under President Tinubu has opened the border for massive food importation, especially foreign rice, and disrupted market forces.
“The reasons why the price of food soared was because of insecurity as farmers are not able to go to farm to carry out their activities.
“So, how do the price comes down when farmers are unable to go to the farm? Even if they had gone to farm, where is the tractor, fertilizers, and others that will bring bumper harvest for the farmers to sell?.
“The government has started massive food importation, and this will make the economy of the North, which depends on agriculture, to dwindle as many won’t be able to farm to gain any meaningful profit, Galadima said.
