We are in receipt of information that the Warehouse in Ede, where we kept the relief materials donated to the Osun Food and Relief Committee by the Private Sector Coalition Against Covid-19 (CACOVID),has been attacked & food items carted away.

It has therefore become imperative to put the records straight in view of the falsehood and the  misinformation making the rounds about the donated relief items.

One, it is not true that the food items were hoarded.

Two, the food items have no direct bearing with the State Government, as they are within the purview of the Food and Relief Committee.

Three, the items can only be distributed after a formal flag-off by the CACOVID Office, Abuja.

Four, we do not have the authority to distribute the food items without approval from Abuja.  

Besides, the Committee is still expecting the rice component of the donated items, which is 40, 230 bags of 5kg. 

All these are part of the reasons the items were still in the warehouse up till the time of the invasion.

The following items were donated: Pasta FMN - 29, 992; Pasta OLAM -10, 282; Noodles- 80, 644; Garri -40, 322; Salt- 40, 320; and Sugar - 40, 227. 

However, the rice components of the donated items are yet to be delivered up until now.

The Committee wrote to CACOVID as recently as September 28, 2020, reminding it of the rice component, which is yet to be delivered.

Part of the letter reads: “I wish to refer to our letter on the above subject and wish to request for the recent update on the rice component expected to have been delivered to the State, and also to seek your advice on the exact time the State should expect delivery, considering the fact that items already received into the Warehouse are food materials and are perishable with limited shelve lives.

“May I recall in our previous discussions that the delay experienced is due to increase in cost of rice &delivery,that the amount paid to suppliers could no longer cover cost of purchase &delivery to Osun”

However,up until this moment,we are yet to receive response from CACOVID.

This is the truth about the status of the donated relief items until their unfortunate looting.

Alh. Bayo Jimoh

Secretary, Osun Food and Relief Committee

Five, you people are bunch of pathetic greedy animals who don't give a hoot about the commoners. You rather wait till the imaginary bags of rice are delivered and watch the other food stuff expire or spoil than to disburse the items to those in dire need of them. The other states who had disbursed theirs aren't in the same country as you?
May God punish every wicked politician keeping to themselves everything that rightfully belongs to us citizens.
Karma shall visit you all soon.
Stupid animals.

Why do you want to distribute the food items when everyone has gone about their normal businesses.

When it was severely needed you didn't distribute.

Isn't it medicine after death?

These excuses are not tenable.
“A ki n ka ole mo idi ope, ki o ma ri nkan so” (a thief caught red handed will always have an excuse)

The best time to distribute palliatives is when there was lockdown, anytime outside then isn’t so reasonable.

OP, why has government refused to tell Nigerians all these you're writing.
As long as a government is not transparent and thrives on propaganda, people like you will continue to write epistles like this to defend lies.

Fact: Do you know that if you put 100 red ants and 100 black ants together in a jar, nothing will happen.

But if you shake the jar, ants will start killing each other.

Red will believe black is enemy.

While black will believe red is enemy when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar.

Same is true in our society. Before we fight with each other, we must ask ourselves: Who shook the jar? We all face the same challenges it does not matter if you are igbo hausa or yoruba. Don't let them divide and conquer. Ignore their paid online keyboard army for they know not what they do.

Peace.

This is called re-looting.

COVID-19 is long gone and masses have moved forward. I wonder why these paliatives are kept in the warehouse.
