The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State says recent palliatives from the federal government have been shared to all the 203 wards in the State.
This is contained in a press statement in Akure on Thursday by Mr Alex Kalejaye, Publicity Secretary of Ondo APC, and made available to Precision Online Newspaper.
The APC affirmed that the state government has handled the issue of palliatives with utmost transparency, sincerity, and with the fear of God.

“The party is bold to announce to the rudderless party that all the items received from the federal government have been distributed to the 203 wards in the State, through their closely-monitored local government representatives.
“The State Governor, Mr. Lucky Ayedatiwa, out of sincere concern for the people, has directed the State Food Security Agency to work out series of measures to cushion the harsh effects of the current economy, that is a global phenomenon.
“The State Government package, that would soon be unveiled in six major centres, at the first instance, will witness 25 percent reduction in the core food items,” the statement read.
The party on the allegations of the opposition PDP about the FG palliatives, expressed its displeasure that the party, a once vibrant opposition party, has been deflated and now has no regards for facts, decency, and now resorts to outright lies with awful recklessness.
“How can a group of individuals, under the aegis of PDP contemplate that a sitting governor, who has demonstrated compassion, love for the people would rebrand palliatives and take same to the market for sale? The party described the action as an act of wickedness? Responsible national political parties are better refined.
“Every resident of the Sunshine State, irrespective of party affiliation, status, ethnic group would enjoy this gesture,” the APC statement read.
Kalejaye further noted that the party is elated at some of the steps being undertaken (and calmly too) by the Aiyedatiwa-led government, adding that such initiatives are beyond what any PDP-controlled state can formulate.
“Food security is one of the core targets of the present government, for which adequate deal, commitment and seriousness are being deployed by it’s agents to actualize this lofty plan.
“Ondo APC urged the good people of the state to forgive irritating the level of ignorance on the palliatives matter. The opposition party is only craving attention and relevance at all cost,” the statement concluded.
