An Osun businesswoman, Alhaja Falilat Yusuf, popularly known as Ero-Arike, has sparked reactions online after a video showed her distributing rice to residents while urging them to vote for the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate.
In the video shared on TikTok by Ero-Arike on Monday and translated from Yoruba by our correspondent, Ero-Arike was seen handing out rice packed in transparent polythene bags bearing APC stickers.
She was also dressed in a customised shirt and cap bearing the APC logo and a photograph of the party’s governorship candidate.
While distributing the food items, Ero-Arike said the rice was provided by the wife of a former Osun State governor. The claim could not be independently verified by our correspondent.
Addressing the recipients in the clip, she stated:
“This rice was given to you by …. She told me to give you one per person, but I’ll give you two,” she said.
She subsequently urged the beneficiaries to support the APC candidates, adding:“Make sure to vote for …” she said.
She also warned the beneficiaries against collecting the rice without voting for the APC candidate.
The video has since generated reactions on social media, with some users questioning the distribution of food items to residents in connection with the election.
The development comes ahead of the Osun governorship election scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026.
