TWO TRAILERS OF RICE PER REP — TINUBU GAVE, ETSAKOR SHOWED, IKWUANO UMUAHIA IS ASKING: WHERE IS OUR OWN?
By MANDATE 27 GROUP
THE FACT THAT IS NOT IN DISPUTE
Recently, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave EACH Member of the House of Representatives TWO TRAILER LOAD of rice for their constituency. This is not rumour. Member, Etsako Federal Constituency in Edo State confirmed it in a video, thanking the President for the gesture. Two trailers per Rep. 360 Reps. That is national palliative, documented, verifiable.
THE STRAIGHTFORWARD QUESTION
Ikwuano Umuahia Federal Constituency is asking Obi Aguocha a straightforward question: where is our own? Not 2007 question. Not Orji family question. 2024/2025 question: Where are the two trailers of rice President Tinubu gave you for Ikwuano Umuahia?
TWO TRAILERS IS NOT TWO BAGS
Two trailers is not two bags. Two trailers is thousands of bags. Two trailers should be seen. Two trailers should be photographed ward by ward. Two trailers should have distribution list: Olokoro got, Ohuhu got, Ubakala got, Ibeku got, Umuahia South got. Two trailers cannot be hidden in pocket. If it entered, Ikwuano Umuahia should have eaten.
THE ALLEGATION THAT MUST BE ANSWERED
It has also been alleged that the said rice for Ikwuano Umuahia Federal Constituency has been cornered and sold. We say alleged because we are responsible. But allegation is on the street: that rice meant for constituents was cornered and sold in market. That is why Emeka Ohabuiro says “I regret ever supporting you.” That is why Mazi Ndudim Iweha says Ulonna South Farm Settlement is neglected. A people who did not see rice will allege rice was sold.
THE GHOST RICE AND THE GHOST PROJECTS
Pattern: Phantom transformer in Ofeke-Azueke Ndume Ibeku — community said “at no time did he restore electricity.” Phantom completion of Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene road — Sam Onuigbo did motion of May 26, 2016, remaining 25km still there. Phantom Olokoro-Ahiaukwu-Amangwo-Umuajata Road, Contract 6063, N204,205,050, ONGOING on Eyemark since 2010. Now phantom rice — two trailers given, zero trailers seen. Ikwuano Umuahia has had enough of phantom.
WITHOUT SOUNDING IMMODEST OR DISRESPECTFUL
Without sounding immodest or disrespectful, who is now a thief? The man who is daily called thief by urchins recruited by incumbent, who left office in June 2023 and holds no rice, no budget, no trailer? Or the man who holds two trailers today and cannot show one bag? The Orji family that is no longer in public office, or the sitting Rep who cannot account for Federal Government rice?
THE ORJI FAMILY DID NOT COLLECT TWO TRAILERS
Senator T.A Orji did not collect two trailers of Tinubu rice for Ikwuano Umuahia. Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji did not collect two trailers. They are private citizens. The person who collected two trailers is the person who holds mandate today. He who collects must account. He who accounts must show list, pictures, ward leaders who signed. Etsako Rep showed gratitude video. Where is Ikwuano Umuahia gratitude video from constituents who ate?
HUNGER DOES NOT LISTEN TO DIVERSION
You cannot answer rice with Orji. Orji did not eat Ikwuano Umuahia rice. A hungry man in Ulonna South Farm Settlement whose palm produce cannot reach market because road is neglected needs rice. A hungry man in Olokoro whose bridge Iyi Umudere was visited but not built needs rice. A hungry man in Umuekwule whose erosion got N1.8m donation instead of ecological fund needs rice. Tell him where rice is, not where Orji is.
THE BASTION OF EMANCIPATION WILL NOT SELL RICE
This is why Ikwuano Umuahia now clammers for Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji as bastion of emancipation. Because his record is not ghost. His mini-stadiums still train youth in 2026. His transformers still power businesses. His empowerment still feeds families. When he had opportunity, he acknowledged Governor Okezie Ikpeazu as funder — transparency. He will not corner rice and sell rice. He will bring rice, road, bridge, and jobs, and show them.
ANSWER THE QUESTION
So answer, Hon Obi Aguocha: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave EACH Member TWO TRAILER LOAD of rice. Etsako confirmed. Ikwuano Umuahia is asking: where is our own? If it has been cornered and sold as alleged, without sounding immodest or disrespectful, WHO IS NOW A THIEF? Ikwuano Umuahia has rejected a Rep who cannot account for rice meant for stomach, let alone roads meant for future. 2027 will be referendum on rice.
