The community development association chairman of Sokeye estate in Ogun has rejected the bag of rice sent to the area by the state government.
In a video shared on social media, the CDA chairman, while holding the 10kg bag of rice, said some persons brought the item as palliative for the entire Sokeye estate. He said there are 147 houses in the estate, adding that it is impossible to share the bag of rice among residents. “In this estate, we have 147 houses with families and tenants living there. I’m confused. I don’t know how to share this with 147 households in Sokeye estate.“If you guys — the government, I’m talking to Dapo Abiodun now — know you cannot do something, don’t do it.
“We are not beggars, so we don’t need your rice as a palliative. This is not even up to one bag. We don’t need your rice as a palliative.“I will like to return this rice so they can give it to Dapo Abiodun to hand it over to his boss, Tinubu, who instructed him to do this. They should give it to their children. We are not hungry, and God will not make us starve.
