“I deem it fit to come to the aid of my people at this trying period when everybody was asked to stay at home to prevent the spread of Coronavirus pandemic.
“I found it necessary to identify with them by giving them palliatives, the foodstuffs, to cushion the effects of the stay-at-home directive since they cannot go to work to get their daily meals.
The food items we are distributing may not be enough for all of them but we believe it will go a long way in addressing hunger as it will provide food on their tables.
“The palliatives we are distributing are for everybody regardless of their political affiliations. It is about giving our people hope. Coronavirus does not know political parties, and so what we are giving is for everybody, not only for APC members”, Oladimeji emphasised.
