I gave money, not bread – Peter Obi debunk rumors he donated bread to flood ravaged communities

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has reacted to comments that he distributed loaves of bread when he visited a community ravaged by flood.

Recall there were rife rumors that Obi on his visit to a flood-ravaged community donated 24 loaves of bread to flood victims.

Members of the opposition party, Ahmed Bashir and Reno Omokri made a mockery of him when the rumors broke.

Reacting in an interview on Arise TV, he said: “I never provided any food. Be it one bread. Whatever you might have seen is what people brought on their own to where I visited. What I have rather done is to ask those who are involved in places I have been to give me a bank account so I can help.”

MyNigeria had earlier reported how a rampant flood situation across the country ravaged many communities, washed away farmland, and destroyed people’s property.

Commuters passing through these communities have been made to take longer routes to get to their destinations.

Many roads were washed away, and many farmlands, houses, vehicles, and other structures also succumbed to the overpowering effect of flooding.
