Truck-loads of rice of different sizes, branded with pictures
of the President Goodluck Jonathan, presidential candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party in the March 28 election,
have flooded Benue State.
It was learnt that the branded bags of rice will be used as a
strategy by PDP handlers in the state to woo the electorate
to vote for Jonathan for a second term.
A driver, who spoke with our correspondent on the
condition of anonymity, said several vehicles have been
moving the commodity from the designated warehouse to
various local government areas of the state.
The source however said they were not told what the bags
of rice would be used for, noting that it might be used during
the presidential poll.
Another source in the PDP, who equally craved anonymity
because he was not authorised to speak to the press,
explained that the branded rice would be distributed to the
people a day to the Presidential elections and on the day of
voting to people, who were are ready to vote for Jonathan.
Efforts to speak with the state coordinator of Jonathan/
Sambo campaign organisation, Sam Ode, failed as his
mobile telephone was not reachable while he did not
respond to an SMS forwarded to him as of the time of filling
this report. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
