Afrobeats singer, Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has slammed Nigerian politicians trying to tackle the hardship in the country with the provision of items that will bring temporary relief to the people.
The ‘Calm Down” crooner, frowned at the development while featuring on the latest episode of ‘The Breakfast Club’ recently, where he noted that poverty alleviation is “not about giving rice.”
Rema called on the political class to implement more effective policies that will address poverty and bring about good governance in the country.
He also encouraged them to establish sustainable platforms to consistently provide for the masses.

Speaking during the interview, Rema said, “It’s not about giving rice. Do you know if some kids have an allergy to rice? What about tomorrow? What are they going to eat tomorrow?
“It’s better to create a platform that would consistently provide. Create a platform that would consistently educate. Create a platform that would consistently clothe. Create a platform that would consistently shelter the hungry people.”
The singer during the chat also claimed that he engages the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on some of his policies whenever they meet.
