Akpabio's remarks came at a time when Nigerians are grappling with unprecedented economic hardships, including soaring food prices, fuel scarcity, and rising inflation. The country's economic woes have left many struggling to make ends meet, with millions facing hunger and poverty.

Critics argue that Akpabio's comments demonstrate a staggering lack of empathy and understanding of the everyday struggles faced by Nigerians. As Senate President, Akpabio is expected to champion the welfare and interests of citizens, not encourage them to scrounge for free food.

"Akpabio's comments are a slap in the face to Nigerians who are working hard to survive," said Lagos-based entrepreneur, Tolani Oladipo. "How can he suggest we look for free food when his own children are living comfortably abroad?"

Akpabio's own family has become a focal point of criticism. His children are known to reside abroad, enjoying better opportunities and living standards. This has led many to accuse Akpabio of hypocrisy, questioning how he can advise others to stay in Nigeria when his own family benefits from being elsewhere.

"Akpabio's children are abroad, enjoying the best education and living conditions," tweeted @NaijaVoice. "Yet, he tells us to stay in Nigeria and look for free food. Is this leadership or lunacy?"

Nigeria's economic challenges are well-documented. The country faces:

- Soaring food prices (a bag of rice costs over ₦80,000)

- Fuel scarcity and high prices (over ₦1,000 per liter)

- Rising inflation (over 20%)

- Unaffordable electricity tariffs

- A weakening naira

In this context, Akpabio's comments are seen as not only insensitive but also irresponsible.

The backlash against Akpabio has been swift and intense. Social media platforms are filled with angry reactions, memes, and hashtags (#AkpabioMustGo, #InsensitiveLeader).

"Akpabio's comments are a clear indication that our leaders are out of touch," wrote @SeyiSays. "They have no idea what it means to struggle to feed your family."

As Nigerians continue to express outrage, there are growing calls for Akpabio to apologize and demonstrate a genuine commitment to addressing the country's economic challenges.

"Akpabio must retract his statement and show empathy towards Nigerians," demanded Lagos-based activist, Comrade Gbenga. "We need leaders who understand our struggles, not those who mock our suffering."
