Covid-19: Ondo PDP Chieftain Provides Succour For The Needy
The flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last governorship election in Ondo State, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) has donated food items to alleviate the plight of the people, as many families complain of the escalating cost of food during the current restriction of movement imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Jegede, spoke to newsmen in Akure, the Ondo State capital, after visiting various parts of the state advised well-to-do Nigerians to donate generously in aid of the masses because Covid-19 is a global disaster that would inflict suffering on vulnerable groups.
He went round to various parts of the state to donate food items to community leaders to cushion the effects of the restriction of movement imposed because of Covid-19. He said the disease caught humanity unawares and poses a lesson in humility and sacrifice.
He said: “Coronavirus was not in any way anticipated or prepared for. But what is uppermost is the two-fold fact that while observing precautionary steps, the well-to-do citizens should rise in support of the poor and the vulnerable.”
