COVID-19 Palliatives: Gov. Wike under fire as Amaechi distributes food items to Rivers people
Reports and complaints from Rivers residents went viral on social media recently that the palliatives being managed by the Desmond Akawo-led State Government Palliative Committee were distributed with discriminations along party lines.
Also, some residents of the state who spoke to DAILY POST confirmed this, adding that the palliatives are insignificant as 5 persons were given a tuber of yam; some given a sachet of noodles; some a tin of tomatoes; and some others got a cup of rice or garri. He called on other people of goodwill to collaborate Amaechi’s social services to Rivers people and spank Wike for being discriminatory to Rivers people.
Eze, an erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party , said Amaechi’s intervention became expedient following the untold hardship occasioned by the total lockdown of the state and the attendant hunger striking and ravaging poor homes.
