Makinde rejects 1,800 bags of rice donated by FG, says it’s pest-infested

Dr. Debo Akande, the Executive Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Agribusiness, disclosed this in Ibadan, the state capital after the state committee on the distribution of relief materials and palliatives inspected the warehouse where the grains were kept. Akande said the committee found out that the rice was unhealthy for human consumption. 

“The state government discovered that the grains of rice were infested by the weevil and other pests, and took the decision in the interest of residents of the state,” he said. “We initially assumed that it was just some part of it that was infested but some commissioners from five or six ministries came with me to inspect and we realised that it is not just some but quite a lot of them were infested.” Akande, however, said the return of the 1,800 bags would not affect the state’s distribution of palliatives, noting that the state has purchased enough rice for distribution to the citizens.

President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence leave at the end of a briefing about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, Friday, April 24, 2020, in Washington. Trump didn't take a single question amid an uproar over his comments about disinfectants

President Donald Trump avoided questions at his White House briefing Friday after giving conflicting responses on his proposed idea of treating coronavirus with disinfectants. Trump said he was being 'sarcastic' when he asked government officials to study the idea of injecting disinfectants as a possible cure for coronavirus. 

He said he wasn't being serious when he asked his coronavirus task force coordinator and another official took a study the proposal and claimed he was jousting with reporters - only to later say government scientists were already working on the idea. 'I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen,' the president said - after his comments, delivered at length and no hint of a smile during his live televised press briefing, brought blowback. An image of his medical adviser Dr. Debbie Birx's horrified reaction (inset) went viral, suggesting she did not think it was sarcastic. Disinfectant manufacturers rushed out statements urging people not to consume their products and scientists warned of serious harm if people did.

If there is any, I would invite her to my house and pay 20k after I must have had sexual intercourse with her.
