The Peoples Democratic Party supporters in Delta State, on Thursday, engaged in a free-for-all with ushers over cooked rice at a campaign ground in Asaba, the state capital. The supporters were denied as the ushers were allegedly concerned about catering to the dignitaries only. Our correspondent observed that the situation led to a fight between the ushers and the supporters as the bags of the cooked rice were torn into pieces. Addressing the supporters after calming the situation, Okowa blamed the All Progressives Congress for inflicting hunger in the land. A bag of rice was N8,000 before the APC came to power; now a bag of rice is 48,000.
