Edo APC Accuses CAN Of Stealing FG Food Palliatives
A war of words has erupted between the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over the alleged theft of federal government food palliatives.
The controversy began after a viral video circulated on social media, showing people looting 10kg bags of rice from a truck during the ongoing End Bad Governance protests in Edo State.
In response, the Chairman of CAN, Edo State Chapter, Apostle Dr. Irekpono Omoike, disclosed that the rice being scrambled for in the video was actually meant for distribution by a vendor contracted by the Edo State CAN Implementation Committee for its Christian Feeding Programme, which is wholly sponsored by the state government and has no connection to the federal government.
However, the Edo State APC chapter dismissed the CAN chairman’s position and insisted that the rice in question was from the stock provided by the Federal Government, which CAN had allegedly connived with the State Government to steal and hoard, instead of distributing to the people of Edo.
