Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has dissociated the state from being among the states in the South West that rejected the palliatives donated by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management.



The palliatives sent to Ondo were 1800 bags of rice and 700 gallons of vegetable oil as part of measures to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown in the country.



Governor Akeredolu who spoke through his Special Adviser on Public and Inter-Governmental Relationship, Ms. Ademosu Bunmi, said the state government never contemplated returning the rice to the Federal Government and expressed shock to have read in some section media that he rejected the rice.

He said it was unfair to say that he joined hands with the Oyo State government to return the rice.

Describing the report as unfounded, embarrassing, shocking and false, he said there was no plan to return the rice and other food items sent to the state.

He said the committee has commenced the repackaging of the rice for onward distribution to the vulnerable in the state as the rice has been tested and confirmed to be edible.



According to him, “We have no plans to return the rice, and such report never emanated from the state government or any member of the palliative committee.

“The state government had commended the gestures of the Federal government towards cushioning the effect of the lock down across the country. It behoves on us to appreciate the gestures rather than condemning it.

“The items are in good shape, tested and good for consumption. The expiry date are boldly written on the rice, we cannot distribute what is harmful to our people.



“We don’t want to lose them, irrespective of their political leaning, we will not sacrifice the people we govern by giving them expired or products that are not good for human consumption.

“The onus is on the governor to protect the people of the state, their safety and lives. We have cooked part of the rice to be sure they are edible and good for consumption

“We must not create another problem while finding solution to one, we have tested the rice, checked the expiry date and I can confirm to you that the rice are of good quality and good for consumption”

Ondo State Coordinator of YESSO, Mr. Bankole Olaoluwa, said they have provide the state with Social Register of poor and vulnerable by capturing over 20,000 heads of households, which would aid the distribution of the palliatives.

You be adeke, a Fulani man brought spoilt rice to your people and carried cash to give his people up north. Don't you think it's foolish not to question them for trying to poison your people? Even when the north condemn their own, you see your people dancing and fighting for him, time would come you beg us to save you people but we will remind you all of your backstabbing behavior

The rice was given to all the 36 states and FCT. Your state government was given so stop talking nonsense. If some of the bags are bad, it’s as a result of storage over a long period of time and nothing else. 6000 bags were given to Lagos state without any issues. Stop playing silly politics with something that was given in good gesture.
