Lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sen Ifeanyi Ubah has accused Governor Chukwuma Soludo-led administration of repackaging and rebranding Federal government bags of rice and other palliatives to the State.
He challenged the governor to produce the palliatives and commence distribution accordingly to prove his government’s innocency.
Speaking to newsmen in Oko, Anambra State, the lawmaker said it was amazing to observe that the palliatives were yet to be seen anywhere in the State despite the fact that Anambra was among the first states to receive their package.
He said, “I’m not accusing anyone, but we have palliatives sent to us by the federal government. Those bags of rice have not seen the light of day.
“Meanwhile, we’re going through a hectic period. Yet we saw rice being rebranded.
“Mind you, the rice brought into the state was the first supply. We want to know exactly where those bags of rice are. If not, anything rebranded is our rice.
“That’s why we’re raising this alarm so that those concerned should do the needful.”
