In a swift reaction, the state government has, however, debunked reports that the palliatives had been stored in there for months.

Chief Press Secretary to Governor Sanwo-Olu, Gboyega Akosile, in a tweet described the comments as ‘falsehood and inciting’.

“The government didn’t lock the food packs in. They’re in warehouse for distribution,” he said.

According to him, the governor only received the palliatives on September 22, less than a month ago.

Akosile further explained that Governor Sanwo-Olu had used his personal and state resources to get food palliatives for vulnerable Lagosians even before the contributions from the Coalition Against COVID (CA-COVID).
