Gov Abiodun: Shokeye CDA Chairman Rejects One-Eighth of a Bag of Rice Palliative for 147 Households

A man who claims to be the chairman of Shokeye Community Development Area in Ogun State has expressed his displeasure over the distribution of palliatives in the state by Governor Dapo Abiodun.

He said that the palliative he received for his estate was inadequate and insulting.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, he showed a branded bag of palliative, which he said contained rice for 147 households in Shokeye Estate. He said that he was confused about how to share the rice, which was not even up to one-eighth of a bag, among the residents of the estate.

He said that he was not hungry and did not need the rice as a palliative. He said that the governor should not insult him and his people with such a meagre gesture. He said that Shokeye Estate refused to be insulted and demanded a better palliative from the government.

He said, “I was just at home when they brought this for me as palliative for the whole of Shokeye Estate. In this estate, we have 147 houses with families and tenants.

“I’m confused now; I don’t know how to share this with 147 households in Shokeye Estate.

“I’m talking to Dapo Abiodun now; if you people know that you cannot do something, then don’t do it.

“We are not hungry; we are not beggars. So we don’t need your rice as palliative. This is not even up to one-eight of a bag of rice.

“We don’t need this rice; if you want to give us palliatives, don’t insult us. This is an insult. Shokeye Estate refuses to be insulted.”
