Ekiti, Nigeria : As election draw near in Ekiti state, Nigeria. A gubernatorial aspirant has resolved that the best way of getting votes to be elected as the new governor of the state is sharing a bag of rice for all voters. This development is not a new trend in Nigeria, where it's people survive living under 1 dollar everyday. This is a strategy used by different aspirants in Nigeria to beg for votes from voters every four years by using the country situation to ride on their people intelligence.

Ayo Fayose, an aspirant under PDP(People democratic party), the same party that rules the country seat of power was the former governor of Ekiti State from 29 May 2003 – 16 October 2006 before he was impeached from office for embezzling state funds and awarding contracts to friends and family. He later left the country in order to evade arrest.
The sharing of food items is something done by different political parties in Nigeria.They share food items, music CDs that contain praises by popular music acts, mobile phones, clothes and also throwing money to their followers while they campaign.
This shows the level of abject poverty in the country, because most Nigerians don't care what happens when they are in office, they are mostly interested in the gifts they get at that point in time. This type of politics is'nt allow development in the country of 150 million without good Education system, no stable Electricity, No drinking water and many more.
We hope the Nigerians citizen will one day reject bad offers from its politicians and choose a mandate that have the country and its people at heart
