The Kogi state chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has said the donation of over 1,000 bags of rice to the state civil servants is an insult.
Oladele Nihi, the council chairman, described the move as a political stunt.
“We see these actions and reactions of the senators as unguided and a desperate move to toil with the collective sensibility of the good people of Kogi and not only the civil servants,” the statement read.
“It is being orchestrated by primordial instincts to paint Kogi in the dark light for cheap and selfish political gains. It is an insult on us.
“Kogi might be feeling the brunt of the economic crisis that is currently bedevilling the whole country, but that does not mean a group of people with inordinate ambition should sit in Abuja and paint Kogi like a Somalia of some sort.
“One would expect that the senate which is the highest lawmaking body in the country be more decorous and fair in attending to such matters as sensitive as this.
“We expect the distinguished senators to be non-partisan and fair by sending delegation to verify the true state of things before playing to the gallery.”
