The Chairman of Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State, Evangelist Margaret Inde has empowered some of her constituents with 1 tuber of yam each.
Along with the tubers, she also gave them 1 cutlass and 1 hoe each in a curious ceremony with newsmen in attendance.
Viral reports on social media say that the Local Government Chairman gave them the items in commemoration of the the 30th anniversary of the creation of her constituency,
The gesture also coincides with the celebration of the New Yam Festival which held on the 27th of Agust.
Expectedly, social media users have expressed disappointment after seeing the pictures of the donation ceremony online.
Some criticise the Local Government Chairman, Mrs Inde’s gesture while others blamed the able-bodied who lined up to accept the handouts.
