WATCH: Lagos civil servants jostle for branded bags of rice in Alausa ahead of governorship election
Several Lagos State civil servants gathered to jostle for branded bags of rice distributed at Adeyemo Bero Auditorium, Alausa, on Thursday (today).
A witness said the campaign team of governorship candidate Babajide Sanwo-Olu was responsible for the distribution.
In the clip, the state workers can be seen struggling to get their share of the APC branded rice as the bags are thrown at them.
When Civil Servants are being reduced to struggling for Campaign souvenirs, its safe to say this is a Shit hole Country. @jidesanwoolu Your Cabinet needs to do better sire, this is absolutely ridiculous to say the least. pic.twitter.com/tyKMn4Q0hj

Poverty has largely been weaponised by politicians in the country, hence the constant attempt to win over electorates through ‘stomach infrastructure’.
Sanwo-Olu will go head to head with Jimi Agbaje of the PDP in the gubernatorial election on March 9.
