Oyo state government is set to return the 1,800 bags of rice it received from the federal government.

The rice donated by the federal government through Nigerian Customs Service were all infected and unhealthy for human consumption.

Executive Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde, Dr. Debo Akande who confirmed this to newsmen on Friday at the secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan said the committees set up to re-examine the rice have warned that it is not consumable.

While revealing that the rice will be rejected, Dr. Akande added that the rejection will not delay the distribution of palliatives to the vulnerable in the state.

He said the state has received a large number of items that will be distributed in the next couple of days.

You will recall that Mrs. Helen Ngozi, the Area Controller, Oyo and Osun Customs command, had on Monday, 20th of April, 2020, delivered 1,800 bags of rice to the Oyo state government on behalf of the Nigeria Customs Service with the claim that all the 1,800 bags of rice were good for consumption, saying the customs would never mix expired rice with good ones.

It's hard to take side in this case.

The FG shot itself in the legs by first saying the imported bags of rice are expired and unfit for human consumption before confisticating them.

I hope Oyo isn't playing unnecessary politics with this return.

THEY WANT TO KILL MAKINDE WITH KOBE24

Frank Edoho: Answer this question correctly and you're walking out of here with the 10Milloin Naira grand prize :
"
Controller: Rice is good and fit for consumption

Governor: Rice is infected and not consumable

Who is lying?
"

You have two lifelines:
Call the Holy spirit OR Ask the angels

Wow..

Infected with what? How do we know for a fact that it is not fit for consumption if all we have to go by is an image showing an open bag with some brown stuff inside. I back before SAP when we had to wash our rice out with soap before cooking. Abeg give us a break with the silly reporting o'jare.!

Corona rice from FG

Government of deception.

It was initially heading for the bin.

Why share wetin no good, abi dem no check an ni or dem no just send? E go hard for them to send this kind levels go kastina Sha
abi Afonja pple Una like to dey chop this kind rice?

Mankinde have bunch of money to buy foodstuffs. So you have no right to speak on behalf of poor people in oyo state. Let journalists ask people if they want the rice or not.

the rice is not fit for human consumption chai buhari why

Southwest deserve better

This is why opposition is needed in every democracy.

I have the feeling that some other states in the southwest and the south generally also received this spoilt rice but for the sake of party faithfulness or political correctness, many of our Southern governors chose to be dumb.

I duff my cap for you, Egbon Seyi Makinde.

Of a truth, 'ajisebi Oyo la nri, Oyo kii se bi Baba enikankan'

This is to show that this government does not value the citizens, a week ago, I woman displayed stony beans giving by the state government, she was arrested.

Imagine feeding the masses with what there dogs can not eat.

What a shame n disaster of a govt all she does is nepotism bigotry tribalism very waistful govt they are even in nairaland here too they can't help u yet they can insult u very very wicked set of people

The Lagos woman was right

FG first told us this rice are bad for comsuption but distributing it for people

other states in SW got this but never reject it

we hope Oyo is not playing politics of hatred and and FG is not trying to act good by sharing bad rice

and I won't blame makinde much because this APC then ACN has accused then PDP lead govt by adebayo akala when he was sharing food in school and they said he was trying to Poison students in school and many parents went to take their students in school and destroy his name because of politics....their is nothing we haven't seen in Oyo politics

That is not imported rice the custom seize, I guess that is rice from the North

How are you certain it was from the north?

Playing petty politics.. with over 300 million naira donated to oyo state by wealthy citizen Makinde as not distributed a cup of rice, now that Customs opened its ware house Audio Governor is playing to the gallery... for a man that can organize a PDP rally in the midst of Corona and even brought people from UK into the state, he can do anything to score cheap points

those that distribute rice did so because they lockdown and since he didn't lockdown he doesn't need to do that...govt is not copy cat but doing what you think is best for your community

can you mention one out of the State that lockdown that distribute rice before lockdown?

Audio Governor playing children politics

I AM DONE TALKING

Makinde must u play politics with the welfare of ur people. No states in south west have complained of the same rice they got from FG. How can all the 1800bags be infested

Nigeria is a country of waste.

I didn't expect more than this.

You seize edibles and have no policy plans of disposing them when they are still healthy for consumption. Either returning them to the owners or moving them to grain reserves.

What is the use of grain reserves ?

You are budgeting N160billion naira from One month's FAAC for North East Development Commission and you are still wasting scarce resources such as grains.

Poor managers.

na wa oo, rice with weevil from FG. why now . they sha want to kill us by fire by force

I doubt if this guy making is a Yoruba man.
He doesn't act like them. Sir I'm not from South West but I love you more than anything. I can take a bullet for you sir. Keep protecting your people from evil buhari and tinubu agenda. I can't wait to have you as my president.

U can check the video of those rice . Nothing like politics bro. Those rice are expired rice. Maybe they purpotedly sent the expired ones to PDP state and send the latest seized rice to other APC states . Who knows ? Anything can happen . Thank God for the proactiveness of Gsm .if not Oyo state people would have cursed gsm assuming they found it themselves without knowing it was from FG and FG will now say there own rice is good while tainting the rice of the state government instead.
