Controversy was breaking out on Friday morning after one of the country’s leading lights in the Obidient Movement alleged that Governor Mohammed Umar Bago of Niger State who publicly backed Peter Obi that it was a national disgrace to import food from Ukraine was summoned within 24 hours to face President Bola Tinubu.
Besides his lamentation, he had also called Obi ‘my boss.’
. reports that Obi had recently lamented the importation of food materials from war-torn Ukraine citing it as another example of the failure of government to lead.
He had called it as a national disgrace for Nigeria to import grain from the war torn Ukraine.
His words were fully endorsed by Governor Bago at the Leadership Newspaper Awards last Tuesday where he, Obi and some other governors were honoured with awards in different categories.
Speaking on the occasion, Bago said:
“My boss, (Obi) you are very right on what you’ve said. We have no reason to be poor. People may not like you, but they must hear you. What you say is the gospel truth.
“It is time we tell ourselves the basic truth. We need to feed ourselves. It is a shame for people (sic) like Ukraine in war to be giving us food.
