The Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko,on Friday, flagged off the second phase of the state food palliative programme, code named Eto Igbe Ayo targetted at reaching no fewer than seventy thousand women across Ondo State.

The Eto Igbe Ayo programme, which is aimed at cushioning the effect of the harsh economic situation of the nation on the women and their families, brought together women from different parts of the Ondo Southern Senatorial District at the flag-off ceremony held at Okitipupa Local Government secretariat, on Friday.

It would be recalled that One Hundred Thousand women had benefitted from the first phase of the programme which was flagged off in July 2016.

Addressing the beneficiaries at the occasion, Governor Mimiko said the items for distribution were rice and beans, adding that the programme was meant for all residents of the state irrespective of political affiliation.

He explained that the use of the State Residency Card also known as Kaadi Igbe Ayo was introduced in the distribution of the various items in order to guard against fraud and multiple receipts by the beneficiaries.

According to him, with the second edition of the programme, a total of One Hundred and Seventy Thousand (170,000) women across Ondo State had benefitted so far from the programme.

The Governor said the second phase, unlike the first phase which was solely funded by the state government, is a joint programme between the State and Local Governments as part of efforts at addressing poverty and hunger occasioned by the economic recession.

The wife of the Governor, Olukemi Mimiko, who handled the distribution of the Food items to the beneficiaries, commended the State and Local Government authorities for embarking on the programme to ameliorate the plight of the various families in Ondo State.

She noted that whatever passes through women will surely benefit the entire family, hence the reason why the women were mostly targeted in the Food Palliative programme.

Mrs Mimiko however urged women in the state to deliver the positive message in their various homes in the interest of the entire sunshine state.

Earlier in his address, the Chairman of Okitipupa Local Government Area, Pastor Larry Ogunmusire, eulogized the State Government for its consistency in giving priority to issues concerning women and children in the state, in spite of the present economic crunch, assuring that the people of the Local Government will continue to support the State Government in all its programmes.

1. You don't have a birth right in the first place.

Please collect the rice and add the half Derica APC gave you, then maybe you can survive this recession.

2. You folks are not known for voting your conscience, rather you are best known for following orders from Jagaban and playing Amala politics.

I know you already collected the rice

Iroko, ma fi iso kekere ba idi je o!

It's the usual norm... Election is around the corner. Only fo-ols will pretend not to decipher the message.

Nobody should take these SS/SE chanters serious, they're frustrated jobless touts.

All they do for a living is look for silly excuses and opportunities to wail the bitterness in their heart out against Buhari government.

They didn't die of Jonathan neglects of their dilapidated roads but they're convulsing about Buhari's so called discriminations.

So far roads in Niger Delta are constructed and renovated, they(south easterners) can go and die!

This one is really trying to make sense.

I know it was not given unto you.

Did he do that last year?
All this 'see you in 4years time' gesture.

Just to alleviate the effect of Buhari's Recession that has brought hunger in the Land

Rice seeds abi eatable ones?

I pity those that wasted their resources on your education.

If you can't comprehend simple statement such as you quoted, where in my statements did I claim to be a Niger Deltan, even if I did, is Ondo state not among the Niger Delta states.

Sharing the cyberspace with your type is surely a disgrace.

Mimiko using rice to buy the electorates some few weeks before election. Kwantinuu...

I hope Ondo people are wiser than Ekiti stomach infrastructural people.

omowolewa:

All this 'see you in 4years time' gesture.

That's how they hope to always remain in power. They control the electorates by keeping them hungry and broke for three-quarter years, only giving them crumbs of a crumb.

When the time of election is very near, they start distributing rice and other foodstuffs to alleviate their hunger for that period so that they can be voted for again.

Then start the whole cycle of hunger and pain all over again.

I just keep wondering if Nigerians have brains that are yet to develop into that of the modern man, homo sapiens. Maybe we are still in the homo habilis stage.

Mimiko thinks distributing of rice and groundnut oil will make d masses to vote for pdp hmnm. I want to them here that they av failed already. No roads rural roads in ondo states is d worst in the sw. Mimiko has destroyed d whole thing. He now want to annoint his puppet candidate jegede so that he will cover the loot. Mimiko will be probe for his money laundering and embezzling the state treasury. D masses will collect their foods and groundnut oil but they will not vote for them in ondo state. Mimiko thinks the stupid stomach infrastructure idea his counterpact fayose brought to the people of ekiti will yield result. Am so sorry for them they av failed big time. People will collect their money and rice but they will not vote for them.

mimiko thinks he can just come and embezzle the state treasury hmmm. He should ask other politicians that av distribute rice all in the name of election and at d end they loose massively. People are not carried away with rice and groundnut oil again no. People are moved with infrastructure development. Mimiko has failed on this one again. 14 days to go he is busy distributing rice and groundnut oil to the masses all in the name to canvass vote for jegede. He has failed already. Infact popularity of jimoh ibrahim has bury mimiko politically in ondo state. mimiko should be preparing for his handover note for Aketi to take over the helms of administration of ondo state. Mimiko failed d people of ondo state. What a pity.

Stomach infrastructure people
