Some Nigerians have blasted APC member, Joe Igbokwe, after he compared the price of a bag of rice in America to the amount it is sold in Nigeria.
He said, “a bag of 50kg rice is $200 in US, most Americans can’t afford it. Convert it to Naira and you will see what God is using Buhari to do in Nigeria amidst COVID-19. May PMB succeed.”
Angered by his words, Nigerians reacted as seen below.
