God1000:
Good gesture

God1000:
Good gesture, but Why are those food items customized?

Mosba:
In the future, the story of how governors are sharing food for citizens will be told and laughed at.

szczescie:
Bayelsa should be one of the richest states in Nigeria.
It’s a pity it’s in the condition it currently is in.
But nice one Mr. Dickson.
Please provide jobs and basic infrastructure.

MASTAkiLLAh:
EFCC is just a useless organization I swear

Slytiger:
Of course. He would put his face on the bag of rice.

Nicepoker:
These politicians are very wicked. Empower these people. Teach them how to fish.

Ray369:

What's good about it ? Is it his hard ears money or embezzled funds ! The money belongs to the people originally! It's like being back in the roman empire where food are shared to people to create awareness at all times

wunmi590:


In as much as this is a good gesture in a time where people are badly and madly hungry, I think k our politicians should learn to empower people rather than giving them things that won't last more than 5days and the citizens will still find their way to the street begging again..

Our politicians can do better.. Is it that most of our politicians don't ever have new year resolution to do things differently?

GoldenJAT:
