The ongoing distribution of
Coronavirus palliatives should be
targeted at the very less privileged
Nigerians, House of
Representatives member for Udi/
Ezeagu federal constituency, Dennis
Amadi has said.
The lawmaker gave the advice in
Enugu, Monday, when he presented
large quantities of food stuffs to
members of his constituency and
some religious groups to cushion
the effects of hardship occasioned
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Amadi said that even though all
segments of the society were
affected by the lockdown measure,
the very indigent citizens were
worst hit in the emergency
situation.
Represented by his wife, Mrs
Ifeyinwa Amadi, the lawmaker said
he was happy to see smiles on
faces of the recipients who he said
have been adversly affected by the
lockdown.
“We thank Governor Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi of Enugu state for
handing Enugu state into the hands
of God and for all the measures the
state has taken in curbing spread of
Coronavirus and in amelioration of
impact brought about by the control
measures.
“These items are mere token and I
beg the recipients to accept them
with good heart,” Amadi pleaded.
Also, former Deputy Senate
President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu,
pleaded that the poor should be
given first line priority in distribution
of the palliatives.
Represented by his aide, Emeka
Ezenwugo, Ekweremadu stated that
the Udi/Ezeagu Federal
Constituency was blessed with a
good representative in the person of
Amadi at the lower chamber of the
National Assembly.
“God said that the portion you give
is the portion you receive; I
therefore urge those who are better
than some others to exercise
restraint and allow the less
privileged take priority in receiving
these food items,” the senator
urged.
