A politician has donated two plastic mats to Sadada community in the Kebbe local government area of Sokoto state.
The councillor, whose name could not be verified as of the time of filing the report, also took pictures with the beneficiaries while making the donations.
Such ‘ridiculous’ donations by Nigerian politicians are not new but the recent one only shows the practice is being taken to new embarrassing heights.
The usual items included tricycles, motorcycles and grinding machines. But water sachets and shoe-shining starter kits have also been donated by politicians.
Recall that government representatives who enjoy all the pecks of office and, in many cases, funds corruptly acquired at the expense of taxpayers reportedly gave out donkeys in Kano and cassava stems in Anambra as ‘economic empowerment’.
