The Biafra Nations
Youth League, BNYL, on Tuesday rejected President Muhammadu Buhari’s order
directing 145 trucks of rice to be shared among the 36 states.
BNYL accused Buhari
of trying to feed Nigerian citizens with condemned rice recovered from people.
In a statement, the leader of the group, Princewill Chimezie Richard
wondered if it was not the same rice government had said was not good for
consumption.
He said: “Is it not
the same rice that we were told was not good for our health as the reason why
it was seized? Why is everything in Nigeria a scam?”.
Richard also
commended the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for his decision to share
foodstuff stored in the state’s food bank to the entire Local Governments in
the state, calling on other Governors in the Southeast and South-South to do
the same thing.
He stated that the
role of the federal government should have been to “pay one month allowance of
N30,000 to those with BVN,”
“He can’t share
Custom stolen rice for our people to eat, because we know the pains they have
made the owners to go through by lying, that it is not good for health, and
majority of the rice owners are Igbo importers.
“He should return
the rice to the owners and pay the people he asked to sit at home N30,000
allowance,” he said.
