The thirty-six State Governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF have denied hoarding Palliatives that are designed for the people as cushion following the outbreak of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

The governors who noted that no State has been involved in or has hoarded any palliatives, described as erroneous, the impression in the public domain that the palliatives were hoarded following instructions by the state governors, adding that they stand for justice, improved governance and a progressive Nigeria.

In a statement on Monday, the Head of Media and Public Affairs of NGF, Abdulrazaque Barkindo described such stories as not just inaccurate, but entirely erroneous and untrue and also mischievous, to say the least.

The Governors who called on members of the public to check their facts stressed that they all recognize the need for improved governance.

The Governors who noted that as Nigerians, we must be careful not to damage ourselves by pushing the wrong narrative, said that they are doing their very best under the circumstances to ameliorate the needs of the teeming population.

The statement read: The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) have since the EndSARS demonstrations started, held several meetings to address the underlying concerns and members have aligned themselves with the call for justice leading to the setting up of judicial panels in the States of the Federation against Police brutality. The NGF regrets the loss of lives and property occasioned by the violent protests that erupted and calls for calm.

“A lot of the information circulating the social media needs to be fact-checked. The NGF pleads with members of the public to desist from spreading rumours which further creates panic and stampede.

“For example, some of the properties stolen and vandalized, include palliatives set aside for vulnerable members of society.

“The NGF reemphasizes and corrects the impression that palliatives found in warehouses that were broken into in Lagos and some other states were kept in storage for members of the society especially our vulnerable citizens.

“The erroneous impression in the public domain that these palliatives were hoarded is not just inaccurate, entirely erroneous and untrue but also mischievous, to say the least.

“For the avoidance of doubt, some of the palliatives had the CACOVID stamp embossed on them, meaning that their source is unambiguous.

“As we know, CACOVID operations are mainly domiciled in Lagos, being the headquarters of most of the public-spirited organisations, corporate bodies and individuals that came together to form the Coalition Against COVID-19; CACOVID.

“Until mid-October, when the NGF had its last meeting, up to ten States had not participated in the flag-off ceremonies for the distribution of palliatives in their States. This was because the items meant for distribution in these states had not been completely received from CACOVID.

“Some other states that still had palliatives in their warehouses chose to keep a strategic reserve ahead of a projected second wave of COVID-19.

“Furthermore, as of a couple of weeks ago, some States were still receiving palliatives from the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

“The NGF wishes to state categorically that no State has been involved in or has hoarded any palliatives.

“The NGF also assures all contributors to the palliatives that prior to the looting of these warehouses, States had kept full accounts of all the items received and distributed.

“NGF calls on members of the public to check their facts. While we all recognize the need for improved governance, we should be careful not to damage ourselves by pushing the wrong narrative.

“The State Governors are doing their very best under the circumstances to ameliorate the needs of the teeming population.

“The Nigeria Governors’ Forum stands for justice, improved governance and a progressive Nigeria.”

Indeed. I'm sure the ones we've been seeing are all photoshopped

Bunch of looters！

A lie

In as much as I am against the ongoing looting and destructions of public and private properties, the governors should stop deceiving themselves and agree they have failed Nigerians.. The level of corruption and moral decadence in Nigeria stink so badly that the malodorous waves got to Trump in faraway US...

Everybody is just darn corrupt in Nigeria, from the politicians down to the poor.. We are all criminals, I have to bluntly admit.. How many principled and incorruptible people are in Nigeria? Maybe 1, maybe 2.. Apart from President Mohammadu Buhari, who else?

If Nigeria was Sodom or Gomorrah, only President Mohammadu Buhari, and maybe 5 other Nigerians, would be saved, and everything else destroyed! Too bad it has gotten to this disastrous level!

May God help Nigeria.

bastarrd you only saved them jokers

Na so

Liars

What this thief meant to say is that they kept it in safe custody for the vulnerable. Maybe waiting for them to die of hunger first before distributing it.
Naija my country, I hail thee.

Say whatever you like, we know the truth

These ppl think we are fools

Thought some states claimed it was fertilizer and chemicals were in those warehouses. Have they now become food. The truth is dat Michael Jackson was right when he sang ' All I wanna say is they don't really care about us'. Palliatives were supposed to be shared at d peak of lockdown when ppl were indoors and can't access food around May this year but d handlers kept them waiting for when all d items will be complete b4 sharing

More grease to the elbow of the looters and more Blessings on Jos people to next is Those Polithiefians houses n business

nobody should come and tell me the middle class is next after them yen yen

This dumbos still think they are dealing with kids

Every governor hoarded the palliatives to use it for their campaign in 2023. They'll simply just tamper with the expiry dates on them.

hmm.... lie lie.....


..Thread seen...

Just imagine these wicked set of people, common indomie that was donated free from private individuals under the umbrella of CACOVID wa locked up and poor masses was deprived from having it.......

God help us.

Oh father lurd
imagine this polithiefian still have gut to come out with this lie. After they have expose ur yansh.

Nigerian youth are not fool. And since they say the palliaviate is not their own nor the warehouse, i think we should continue looting(only government warehouse) our manner from heaven.
