COVID-19 Palliative: Oyo APC Expresses Gratitude To Buhari

The Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for donating 1,800 bags of rice to Oyo State Government as COVID-19 lockdown palliative.
The Congress’ Publicity Secretary, Dr AbdulAzeez Olatunde, expressed the gratitude in a statement made available to newsmen, yesterday in Ibadan.
Our source recalls that the president had recently ordered the Nigeria Custom Service (NCS) to release the bags of rice to state governments as part of its palliatives.
The NCS had earlier released 6,000 bags of rice to four South West states out of which Oyo got 1,000 bags.
The consignment, handed over by Mrs Helen Ngozi of NCS, was received and  inspected on behalf of the state government by Mrs Olaide Lasisi, the coordinator, the state Operation Co-ordinating Unit.
Olatunde said that the APC appreciated the federal government “for walking its talk by fulfilling its purpose of governing without bias through the donation.”
The party expressed optimism that Gov. Seyi Makinde would not only distribute the rice immediately,  but also  add the donations received from individuals as well as corporate organisations.
It also called on the state government to ensure the distribution was done without political bias, stressing that the distribution of the palliatives was already late.
