A governorship aspirant on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in this year’s election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has denied allegations that he shared rice meant for the presidential campaign of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the state as his Christmas gift to Edo people.

In a statement in Benin, yesterday, he said, “For the records, Dr. Jonathan or PDP never brought rice to distribute for the presidential election in Edo State, so it is impossible to comptemplate its being diverted.

“It was Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, a support group for the then President, that sent some 5kg bags of rice which were given to the party leadership to distribute and were never given to me as state coordinator.

“The rice I shared during the last Christmas was in 50kg, 25kg, 10kg and 2kg bags respectively. The 2kg bags which had the inscription of PDP and operation feed Nigeria was produced by a friend and his phone number is boldly written on the bags. He gave me these bags free of charge to give to as many people as possible as gift during Christmas.

“I stuck my stickers on the bags after bagging them to enable the recipients know where the rice came from and I thank God for all those who supported me to achieve this gesture of love in a state that has been plundered by those who promised to abolish poverty.

“I challenge those who persist in lies and character assassination to call the phone number on the back of the 2kg bags and confirm the producer of these bags. Common sense which is lacking in the life of political thieves could have revealed that rice stored for over a year would be prey to weevils and clearly not suitable for human consumption.”

He accused those he called political hirelings of attempting to cast aspersions on the integrity of his person by falsely accusing him of diverting rice meant for the presidential campaign of Dr. Jonathan and distributing same as his own Christmas gift to Edo people.

“This baseless allegation, which is absurd, was quickly refuted by the leadership of PDP in Edo State as untrue. That emphatic statement ought to have cleared the matter but clueless detractors desperate to earn their pay stuck to their mischief and insisted that their allegation must be investigated,” he said.

We will chase away those APC criminal and there gang members out of Edo this year. APC is banking on rigging and they better think twice because what happened in Bayelsa in January 9th will repeat itself in Edo gubernatorial election.

And Oshiomole should come out and tell us where he got all the money he use in buying trailers of rice, groundnut oil and rams APC shared Dec period.

Who doesn't know that APC is jittery of this man?

From yam eaters to rice eaters.

POLITICS OF RICE AND OIL.

See as everybody is now trying to disassociate themselves with the name Jonathan.

Failure has no friend, they say. This is a case study.

But you distributed it via a friend who gave it "free of charge". LOL.Thank God for a principled Buhari. Though when i took a closer look at his 2016 budget in this infographic http://manly.ng/president-buhari-2016-budget/ i saw some k-leg but no qualms compared to these professional rice distributors.

TAN is Jona.U are all saTANist. Nobody will call ur fellow thieves number..Imagine a Pastor taking/giving bribe .Only in PDP .Tufia!
