In line with the decision of President Bola Tinubu to alleviate the current economic hardship in the country, a supporting social group known as SWAGA has keyed into the good vision of President Bola Hamed Tinubu by distribution of palliative to Nigerians across the country.

The Ogun State chapter of the group kickstarted the distribution of over 3,000 bags of rice packaged in 5kg at Senator Obadara’s residence on Friday, in Abeokuta the Ogun State capital.

Representatives of the 20 Local Governments in the state, converged at Obadara’s house to represent their council respectively.

Speaking with Newsmen Please, the national Chairman of the group Sen.Dayo Adeyeye, stated that the decision of the group to distribute palliative to Nigerians was borne out of supporting the president, over the hardship of subsidy removal. He noted that the succor is meant for the general public.

He urged Nigerians to remain resilient with the policy of the President, adding that the policy will bear good fruits eventually, while, stating that in the next few years, we will begin to see positive results.

Also speaking, the Southwest women leader of the group, disclosed that the government has done it’s part, and it is necessary that be a support group of the President to contribute their quota, which brought about the distribution of the palliative.

She directed all the representatives to share palliative to everyone in their community and local government, adding that it is not meant for political leaders or members alone, but for everyone.

“We have done for Oyo and Osun state, so, we are doing for Ogun now.”

“Due to the current situation of the country, we thought that we must give you something, this is not just what you will for the four years, please ensure that you share this rice among your local government, this should be distributed to everyone not just a political member, let it be known that this rice is given to them by SWAGA”

“We are not directing you to give this palliative to the party chairman, take it to where you are doing your meeting, and invite them to witness the share it with everyone”.

In the same development, Senator Obadara corroborated that they told Nigerians to be patient, noting that a patient dog will eat a reserved fastest bone.

Also, Hon.Oyetunde Ojo said, that the palliative is not just for the members of APC or SWAGA member alone, but for all Nigerians noting that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

He said,” It is just a coincidence because we have been planning to do palliative even before the federal government, as we said, SWAGA is not just for the election but we are here to assist the government and support President Bola Tinubu because we know what the President has in mind”.

“Right now as we speak in putting things to normal and putting things straight, people have to go through a bit of pain, remember things have been bastardized in 30 years, but at the end of the tunnel there will be light”.

“We looking at how best we can assist the government, and this will not end here, remember that Tinubu is now the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, so this palliative is for every Nigerian and not for SWAGA members alone”.
