This is why it is odd reading a piece by one Adebayo Adedeji that ridiculously tried to create the impression that Governor Ademola Adeleke is deliberately delaying the distribution of palliative to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal. In that article titled "Why Is Governor Adeleke Denying Osun People Of Palliatives?", Adedeji mischievously pictured Governor Adeleke as unbothered by the plights faced by Osun people while positioning the APC as having concern for the welfare of the people.
In what clearly was a blackmail effort by Adedeji, he erroneously suggested that the 3,000 bags of rice already received by the State Government was enough to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal on Osun people. A simple arithmetic calculation will give him away as nothing but a mischief-maker, because if the 3,000 bags should be divided by the 332 wards in Osun, what will go to each ward is about 9 bags of rice.
