A governorship aspirant of the Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN) in Ekiti State, Senator Bode Olowoporoku, yesterday, lamented that “a massive hunger” is afflicting the people of the state, saying the PDP has failed to address it.

Olowoporoku, however, promised to spend out of his security vote to feed the people if elected in the July 14, governorship election in the state.

Governor Ayodele Fayose had long ago declared “stomach infrastructure” as one of the cardinal objectives of his government towards fighting hunger.

Olowoporoku told reporters in his hometown, Ilawe-Ekiti, during a sensitisation rally ahead of the governorship election, that he would address hunger by distributing 100 bags of rice to each of the 177 wards in the state every month for four years.
