Lockdown: Ondo Lawmaker Doles Out Cash, Foodstuffs To Constituents

A lawmaker in Ondo State, Mr Sunday Olajide, yesterday, distributed food items and some money to his constituents to cushion the hardship occasioned by restriction of movement to contain the spread of coronavirus.
Olajide, representing Akure South Constituency 2 in the State House of Assembly, said that the gesture would alleviate the hardship of families in his constituency as they comply with the government order.
He urged his constituents to continue to comply with the government directives as well as instructions emanating from the state Ministry of Health in order to stop the spread of the virus.
The lawmaker also commended Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State for his pro-activeness, policies and unrelenting efforts to contain the spread of the Coronavirus.
Olajide said that all hands must be on deck to support the state government.
“It is not time to play politics, but the time for those who are blessed with riches in the society to assist the less privileged by providing succour to them”, he said.
Commending the lawmaker, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akure South Local Government, Chief Olu Ojo, said his efforts would alleviate the sufferings of the downtrodden in the area.
A beneficiary, Mrs Kehinde Olusola, appreciated the lawmaker for the kindness at the crucial moment, calling on others to emulate the gesture.
The lawmaker distributed rice, beans, garri and unspecified amount of money to each beneficiary.
