The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has asked the nine members of the National Assembly from Kwara State to speak out on the federal government's rice intervention intended for distribution to their various constituencies in the state.

In a statement on Sunday by the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Kwara State, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the party highlighted a viral video featuring one Dekeri Anamero, House of Representatives member representing Etsako Federal constituency of Edo State, where he claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu provided each national assembly member with at least two trailers of rice for distribution in their various constituencies.

Reacting to the said video, the party spokesman queried all the national assembly members from Kwara state and charged them to speak up on the whereabouts of the people's rice in their domains.

The concerned legislators who are all APC members include Senator Salihu Mustapha of Kwara Central, Oyelola Ashiru of Kwara South, and Senator Suleiman Sadiq Umar of Kwara North.

Also, members of the lower chamber include Raheem Tunji Olawuyi Ajuloopin, Ismail Kayode Tijani, Ahmed Yinka Aluko, MuktahTolani Shagaya, Adam Ahmed Saba, and Mohammed Omar Bio respectively.

“The PDP in Kwara State, having patiently awaited responses from the APC legislators, noted with concern their continued silence which is no longer golden.

“Based on the video made by Honorable Dekeri, each legislator is said to have received a minimum of 2,400 bags of rice,” the statement added.

The Kwara PDP called for immediate explanations from the APC legislators and demanded transparency in accounting for the federal government's rice intervention.

It said the party remains committed to upholding the principles of accountability, integrity, and service to the people.
