Okezie Ikpeazu, governor of Abia state, on Tuesday earned himself criticism from Ifedayo Olarinde, Cool FM on air personality (OAP) better known as Freeze.

Reacting to a photograph of Ikpeazu, giving an elderly lady a thousand naira note, which went viral on social media, the OAP said Ayo Fayose, Ikpeazu’s counterpart in Ekiti state, would have done better.

Freeze said the money was too small and would hardly make an impact in the “poor woman’s life”.

“Hmm, firstly, how is this going to affect her life over the course of the next one week, one month, and one year?” he asked on Instagram.

“Secondly, how much is that again in dollars? Thirdly, why take a picture giving away 1k? And fourthly, are Nigerians ever going to see the big picture?

“Some people give out millions every day in school fees, for surgical procedures and don’t get their ‘pictures’ in the media.

“For instance, Gov. Ayo Fayose, would have at least come down from that vehicle, help the woman to cut her fish or peel her oranges.

“And then give her some money, instead of giving just 1k from the comfort of his SUV and the protection of his guards.

“I am not impressed; Nigeria needs more, Nigeria deserves better. We voted you In Sir.”
