Obaseki’s Hidden Rice : More Controversy Erupts Over Hidden Truckload Of Rice In Benin CityIn a startling turn of events, the PDP Governorship campaign council deputy director of new media, Pharez Okpere, has on behalf of Godwin Obaseki and PDP denied any knowledge about a hidden truckload of bags of rice discovered around the Urora area in Benin on Thursday, August 1st....CONTINUE READING

However, a twist in the narrative has emerged after all, with the PDP and the state governor allegedly commissioned some members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), represented by Reverend Osagie Erhumwunse and Apostle Irekpono Omoike, to claim ownership of the truckload of palliative rice bags under the guise of Edo Food distribution program, which Okpere initially denied knowledge of and exonerated the governor from any connection.

The discrepancy in the accounts has left the public wondering who to believe. On one side, Okpere, the PDP campaign official, has categorically denied any knowledge of the hidden rice, while on the other, the PDP and the governor are said to have orchestrated a ploy to lay claim to the truckload of rice.

This incident has further fueled the perception that the PDP, fondly referred to as “People Deceive People (PDP), “Pikin Deceive Papa (PDP),” and “Papa Deceive Pikin (PDP),” is embroiled in a web of deception. The phrase “Pharez Deceive People (PDP)” has also been used to describe the party’s actions in this matter.

The public is left to question the credibility of the PDP’s claims and the transparency of the distribution of essential food items during this challenging time. The revelation of this hidden truckload of rice has raised concerns about the party’s commitment to serving the people’s best interests.

As the investigation into this matter continues, it remains to be seen whether the truth will prevail or whether the PDP’s alleged pattern of deception will continue to erode public trust. The people of Benin and the state at large await a clear and unbiased resolution to this controversy, which has once again questioned the integrity of the PDP and its leadership.

Ddeliverer007:
Right now you don't know the north anymore?

Try to be precise. Are you afraid to tell me the north you are referring to? For your information by Nigeria arrangement I am from the northern part of Nigeria. That's is where my parents came from. That was where I did my primary and secondary education. Why should I be afraid of my region?

Ddeliverer007:
Why are you afraid of the north?

Which north? North Korea, North America or where?

haffaze777:
Laelae suspend what? The protest must continue outside South West.

Abio

Jostoman:
they never thought a day like this will come.

A day of what?

Falana go and sit down.

Many men and women are not even marriageable.

Christistruth02:
On this one the North can only blame themselves because we spent a month warning them against protesting because it was going to be hijacked by those bent on violence

We warned them

Ddeliverer007:
The north has vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable for the Yoruba President but Yorubas would rather call igbos.

shut up. Always playing victim mentality. You are too divisive

NorthernAgender:
But this people not help even to rent a contractor is a war from local government.

That is where the problem is. If we can have a cooperative farm where a large number of people will come together, acquire land, rent machinery and jointly do the farming I think it will be better

Okoroawusa:
You are mad!!!!
The protest must continue o!

They are tired

Kikikiliki! You are tire? Continue nau!

NorthernAgender:
Please its not easy for individual to farm in Nigeria.

Government can only assist people to farm. it is the people that will farm not government.

We warned you nau

Tokskob2008:
The way some people in this country reason is just so annoying and I really we have someone like Abacha again very soon.

How can hungry people be deceived
Who will come out for any stupid protest if things were fine?
Ordinary to eat 2 meals a day is now rocket science.

So hunger made them destroyed properties? So no hunger in other regions?

SisterJolade:
Adamumu at it again. Where was he when some northerners were eating grass due to acute hunger?

And so that gave them the right to destroy their land? Why can't you do that in your state?

NorthernAgender:
We have land abundantly that can grow crops in the different area . Why government can't just go farm and employ able youths pay them handsomely.

What's really wrong with this black leaders.

Why is it difficult for people to go to farm? The blame should not be only on the government. What about private individuals?

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, issued a 72-hour ultimatum to Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy, to retract his alleged defamatory statement against him.

Onanuga had alleged that supporters of Obi are behind the proposed nationwide protest against economic hardship in the country.

In a letter by Alex Ejesieme, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Obi’s lawyer, the former governor of Anambra is also asking Onanuga to tender a public apology published in four national newspapers over the “widespread defamation and libel” or face legal action.

Obi is demanding N5 billion in damages from Onanuga.
When Will he sue Onanuga?

benuejosh:
From the East to the North, the fight is against Yorubas.

helinues:

Na so confusion dey start

helinues:
And who hired those thugs?

The same man who was blaming the police yesterday for the destruction

He is receiving sense

Jokay07:
There are many things the led to this protest, hunger, politics and many more. I am not saying the opposition party are behind the protest.
The protest is louder in the North than South.

But silent in the south east

It means some parts of the country play ethnic politics

Before nko?

EreluRoz:
I don't know how to ignore, I'll read it. They should just delete my account and let me be

You can do it by yourself. They will not delete your account

This is what you call peaceful?

Do not read their messages again. When they quote you, ignore them. I dont allow them to derail me

Jokay07:
It's a chess game.
During end sars protest in October that year, the protest was more intense in the south than north. In fact many northern believed that it was a ploy to remove abs topple buhari from power.
Now the table has turned. That's why the protest is more intense in the north and many southern states stayed off

That means the protest now and then have ethnic and political undertones?
