Patience Jonathan Allegedly Donates Expired Rice To Bayelsa Women

Women in the state, who were gathered at the Samson
Siasia Stadium at Ovom, Yenagoa received gifts and cheques
from the First Lady, who urged them to vote en-masse for
her husband, Goodluck Jonathan.
However, news reports alleged that the rice distributed by
the First Lady were expired ones.
According to Reporters, "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 also known as "Keke NAPEP" were distributed to
some at the rally.
Source in Yenogoa, responding to enquirers, said she heard
the rumour but cannot confirm if Dame Jonathan actually
distributed rice or whether the rice were expired. She added
that what she is sure the First Lady gave out were tricycles.
