Forgive PDP’s irritating ignorance on FG’s Palliative – APC tells people of Ondo state

The Ondo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has described as juvenile and irresponsible PDP’s allegation that the state government was selling the Federal Government’s palliative sent to the state.

The party in a statement by its publicity secretary, Alex kalejaye said the deflated PDP has no regards for facts, decency, and now resorted 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”, the party said.

It said contrary to PDP’s spurious and irresponsible allegation, the Ondo State government has “so far handled the issue of palliatives with utmost transparency, sincerity, and with the fear of God”.

According to the statement, “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 has 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 reduction of 25 percent reduction in the core food items.
