ABUJA-THE federal government has disowned the COVID-19 palliatives discovered in a Lagos warehouse, saying the items were not from it. Rather,the government said the inscriptions seen on the back of the items indicated that they were donated by a coalition of some non-governmental organisations

Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development in a statement Thursday’s night,insisted that contrary to the belief in some quarters,the items were not from it. The statement through Nneka Anibeze, Special Assistant to the Minister,Sadiya Umar Farouq,said the ministry was compelled to speak out with a view to clarifying issues following insinuations that the items were donated by the ministry. It read in full:”The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs Disaster Management and Social Development has been made aware of trending messages on and off social media alluding to the fact that Covid-19 palliatives found in a Lagos warehouse were from the ministry. “This is nothing but a tissue of lies.The photos and videos recorded at the warehouse show that the bags of rice and other items were clearly marked ‘Lagos State Government and Ca-Covid’. “Ca-Covid is short for Coalition Against Covid-19, a private sector led task force in partnership with the Federal Government, the Nigeria Centre For Disease Control NCDC and the World Health Organization WHO with the sole aim of combating Covid-19 in Nigeria. “The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs Disaster Management and Social Development did not procure, distribute or facilitate the distribution of palliatives under the Ca-Covid initiative. “The ministry therefore wishes to inform the general public that it has nothing to do with the items found in that Lagos warehouse.”

See as the FG dey absolve itself from this mess

I've always known this Sanwo olu is a disaster.

We need a change in Lagos in 2023, let's give another party a chance, and it does not have to be the PDP or all this former useless politicians.

The useless lunatic called a Governor declared a lockdown throughout Lagos State, instead of him to share all this palliative to people, he dey keep them for warehouse while the people are hungry.

The useless lunatic dey show us useless pic up and down foods wey Dem suppose don share since. Is taken the mad man months to share what should be shared in days.

I will totally lose faith in this country in 2023, if this fool wins the 2023 governorship election in Lagos. In my area in ikorodu, I can't point to a place the Lagos State government shared anything.

Lolz wetin them won tell us before

I thought they will blame it on their enemies that want to hijack the government when i first saw the caption

Meanwhile,,,
If you initially encouraged the killing of either Police or protesters & now think it's getting out of control,,,, E no go better for you o.

Efforts to prevent the killings were made futile by your likes
