Factional governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo, Eyitayo Jegede has said the loaves of bread being allegedly shared by the All Progressives Congress was poisoned.
Jegede said this in Akure through the Director of the Eyitayo Jegede Campaign Organisation, Kayode Fasua.
He alleged that the bread has landed some persons in hospital.
He said microbiologists who have tested the bread found that it contains potassium bromide which could cause cancer or instant death.
He said, “Though there is nothing bad in distributing bread more so that under the APC national administration, life has become unbearable for the common people, our major concern now is that the loaves of bread being distributed are killer loaves; they are contaminated.
“Microbiologists have moved in and found that the loaves of bread are poisonous. It was found that they contain potassium bromide, which the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control had long alerted Nigerians to avoid.
“Apart from the fact that this APC bread can cause cancer, it has also resulted in many cases of serious stomach rumbling, which may have by now resulted in some deaths.”
However, the Director of Media and Publicity of Akeredolu Campaign Organisation, Steve Otaloro has said his candidate was unaware of any bread distributed in his name.
He said, “We are not aware of any bread production let alone distribution. I am saying this with all honesty. It is the work of some fifth columnists to discredit and distract Akeredolu from focusing on the November 26 election. But they have failed.”
