A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Edo State, Barrister Kenneth Imansuangbon(aka Riceman), has began aggressive campaign for his party’s Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.
Barrister Imansuangbon used the opportunity to preach about the good things the government of Atiku would bring to Nigerians. Imasuangbon stormed orphanages, hospitals and several villages to distribute thousands of bags of the staple(rice) to all and sundry.
He told the people to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) for inflicting pains and suffering on the masses. He educated the people on the need to collect their PVCs, adding that the task to sack the APC must be achieved.
The PDP chieftain said Atiku has promised to provide $10bn for youth empowerment, revive the refinery, ensure adequate power supply and secure the country.
Speaking in an interview shortly after he kicked started the annual free Rice Distribution in his locality of Ewohinmi, Esan South East Local Government Area of Edo State, he said, “We are reaching out to over 50,000 persons in this year distribution of rice. Edo is ready for Atiku/Okowa Presidency. We must come out enmass and vote for the ‘unifier’.
“Besides, we will soon embark on door to door campaign in villages across the state. Our target is to get 80 percent of the votes in Edo.”
In Uhunwonde, Orhionmwon and Ikpoba Okha Local Government Areas of the state, the former governorship aspirant told the surging crowd that when Atiku becomes President by the grace of God hunger and poverty will be defeated.
Meanwhile, jubilant crowd scrambled to get a bag of rice as the shout of Riceman rented air and they promised to vote for the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa.
One of the lucky beneficiaries, Imafidon Ighomaye, said, “we are happy with Imansuangbon for coming to share rice every year. He has shown us love and for that my entire family will vote for Atiku and the PDP come 2023 Presidential election.”
