The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has admitted that President Bola Tinubu is having some challenges.<\/p>\n

To this end, Idris said Nigeria\u2019s decision to accept grains from Ukraine does not mean the country is weak or a failed state.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, had condemned the decision of Nigeria to accept grains as donation from Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Obi had described Ukraine\u2019s grain donation to Nigeria as disheartening.<\/p>\n

Reacting at the Leadership Annual Conference and Award 2023 on Tuesday in Abuja, the minister dismissed such claim, stressing that Egypt was not a failed state despite getting about 60 percent of its grains from Ukraine.<\/p>\n

According to Idris: \u201cEgypt gets about 60 percent of its grains from Ukraine. The fact that Egypt gets about 60 percent of its grains from Ukraine does not make it a failed state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we are having challenges at the moment does not make Nigeria a failed state.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, accepting grains from Ukraine does not make Nigeria or Egypt failed countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a normal thing because countries exist to depend on one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that Nigeria is facing some challenges and President Bola Tinubu is aware of this and he has been making efforts to address the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians voted for Tinubu with the deeper understanding and conviction that he has the capacity to turn things around for the better and that is what he is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
