How lower can things get for the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
Yesterday, the first lady, Patience Jonathan visited Bayelsa to distribute empowerment materials and items to women.
The visit not only caused a heavy gridlock but also paralyzied social and commercial activities on the Yenagoa Mbiama Road.
At the Samson Shania Stadium at Ovom, Yenagoa venue of the programme, Mrs. Jonathan gave away various gifts and cheques to different groups.
She urged the women to vote en masse for her husband, Goodluck Jonathan, who recently declared for re-election.
A new report however says the first lady allegedly hoodwinked the Bayelsan women with expired rice.
Below is how it was reported on SaharaReporters , “the MDGs, a United Nations benchmark which is aimed at eradicating extreme poverty and hunger for all citizens, became the basis for a political campaign ground for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), a political group affiliated with President Jonathan’s re-election.”
Several bags of rice repackaged in bags branded with Mr. Jonathan’s photos, sewing machines, hair dryers, and tricycles known also “Keke NAPEP” were distributed to some at the rally.
A cursory investigation showed that most of the items, especially food items, had expired, and most them were later diverted to Peoples Democratic Party politicians for onward distribution exclusively to their followers.”
Mr Incredibly stupid. It means holding the government to account. 1 million Nigerian children under 5 years old die yearly from malaria, pneumonia, malnutrition etc. Do you want the corpses in front of your doorstep before you accept the people occupying the respected offices of government in Nigeria are impostors?
50,000 women die yearly due to child bearing related causes. That is the Chibok girls 250 times over, every year. Millions of unemployed youths and graduates while capital resources are stolen (no no no. no corruption involved)
Everyone has one life to live and for those who have died, that’s it. The best they have is you and I to make their deaths not pointless.
The fact that you are from Porthacourt does not mean you should be insensitive to human suffering just because it is your country mans turn. This type of mentality is causing so much suffering in Nigeria. This man does not care about you. If Boko haram invades his village he will airlift his family and leave you to face the music.
If you are indeed intelligent but just suffer some lapses, please use your gift from God to do good and call what is bad bad.
Must u guys turn her Good deeds to nsults? U com here nd post rubbish about ur 1st lady.we all know dat sahara reporters is one news company dat is out to spoil al nigerians wit der negative reports..which country hav u ever seen dat is saying rubbish about der gov? U guys should be wise nd use ur heads.
so what about it?
this woman sef every time she ll be wasting funds on distributing foodstuffs instead of development. nigerian mentality
Na only them Sabi steal? What may have happened here is that good stolen money was given to their fixers to buy rice for the reelection project. The fixers after loading the price for good rice then went and gathered expired rice, following in the footsteps of madam and Ebola Badluck. The scammers are being scammed. Many more to come. As for you throat longing for fake free rice, carry on. You are allowed to give fake I will vote for you promise.
