COVID-19: ‘FG Sent Rotten Rice as Palliative to South West’ – FFK

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that the Federal Government has given rotten rice as a palliative to South West.

He stated that all the South-West Governors sent back the palliative but Governor Seyi Makinde made this known to the public.

He applauded the Governor of Oyo State of being bold enough to make this known to the public.

He stated, ‘Disgusted that the FG could send rotten mouldy rice to SW as part of their so-called palliatives. Did they do the same to northern states? I gather ALL the SW Governors sent the rice back but only @seyiamakinde was bold enough to let the world know what happened. I commend him.’

FFK wondered if same rotten rice was given to the Northern Nigeria as palliative.

Recall that the Federal Government has been given out palliative to States to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 on the lockdown stipulated by the State.
