A member of the House of Representatives, representing Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency of Ondo State, Prince Jimi Odimayo, has been accused of distributing inconsumable repackaged bags of rice to his constituents during the Yuletide.
The Federal Lawmaker was accused by a yet to be identified resident for allegedly distributing a stoned and in-consumable rice in a video obtained by Starnews NG which has gone viral on the internet.
The woman who expressed anger in the video spoke in her local Ikale Language to query why Jimmy, a governorship aspirant would distribute such a dangerous rice to the good people of Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency.
Why knocking the APC governorship aspirant, the woman said the rice is full of stones, and dangerous for consumption, querying why a Lawmaker who is aspiring to become the governor of the state will distribute such a bad and dangerous food for its constituents.
Starnews NG reports that she displayed the video of the cooked and uncooked rice for her audience to see how bad it was.
She said in her local language which was translated to English by Starnews NG, that, “The rice is terribly bad. Dangerous for consumption. It is not good at all. Look at the rice someone who wants to be governor is sharing. It is full of stones. The stones in it is even more than the rice. In fact, we couldn’t eat the one we cooked yesterday. Take a look at the cooked one and the uncooked, both are obviously injurious for consumption.
“You can imagine someone who wants to be governor has the courage to share this kind of rice to people. Nobody including young and old can eat it. It is not good at all. I have never seen this kind of rice before. A rice that has about two to three colours. Can’t you see how it looks? This is really serious,” the woman added.
Meanwhile, an independent investigation conducted by Starnews NG revealed a similar complaint across the federal constituency. Members and Leaders of the party who spoke off-record in a separate interviews confirmed to our correspondent that the re-packaged bags of rice distributed by the Lawmaker was actually bad and in-consumable.
However, Hon. Odimayo did not answer his call when a phone call was put across to him for his reaction.
