Reports has it that a yet unknown number of members of the Kwara state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, died on Wednesday night as they scrambled for handouts distributed by former Governor of the state, Bukola Saraki.
Quite a pity that despite the modern era we still witness such an event occurring in cycles repeatedly.
What must have informed such a stampede? Simply put, poverty and hunger in the land. Our democracy has being so be designed for the poor to remain perpetually poor wallowing in abject poverty.
