Former Benue State House of Assembly Contender, Hon. Daniel Ukpera has reportedly donated ropes to his community members to tie their goats.
Ukpera contested for the Guma State Constituency seat in the 2019 Benue State House of Assembly Election under the platform of Labour Party (LP) but lost it to the People’s Democratic Party contestant (PDP).
According to reports, the politician donated the ropes as his contribution to the implementation of the Benue State Anti Open Grazing Law.
Before leaving after the donation, Ukpera assisted some of the people to tie their goats as could be seen in viral photos below.

So I heard that a certain "honourable" in Benue State (Hon Daniel Ukpera) donated ropes to his community for them to use in tying their goats.
What sort of Constituency Project is that!

Benue state government are donating ropes as "Youth Empowerment Projects" in 2020 🤣🤣🤣
My question here is, what are the jobs you can use a rope for?

What do you expect, maybe he gave each person a goat. But if that is another way to boost animal husbandry in his area, he needs to do more especially in taking them from to higher level of agriculture. It may not be completely useless.
