APC government of Rice and Agbado?

To how many families

Agbadorian giving out agbado to them

With government funds

Most people don't understand the level of damage that Borno experienced.

But yet, the government was to immediately discuss with the masses the majors they have employed to prevent this incident from happening across the country. After which, other majors to look into would've been ensuring that the state's activities is returned immediately. Rebuilding damaged schools and hospitals and other important facilities put into place to ensure that people with flood traumas are taken care of.

But rather, everyone is donating money to gain political votes when they seek any form of elections.

Nice work, but that's if it will get to the victims and not the big thieves.

Toh

President Tinubu is doing well in the humanitarian aspect.

Kudos

Commander in chief of the federal repubic of rice

Knowing how corrupt Nigerians are, I can categorically say that less than 10 of the 50 trucks would get to the people.

And what's with this issue of sharing rice, such gestures aren't sustainable cos once they finish consuming it, what next? They'd be abandoned at various IDP camps littered across the state.

aRICE oh Compatriot.

He has tried, he added millet and sorghum to the Agbado he promised earlier.

Tinubu is a man with a heart of gold,he has human sympathy.
