Some Govt Officials Approach Me To Sell COVID-19 Palliatives – Galadima

All Progressives Congress chieftain, Buba Galadima, has berated state governments for hoarding relief items donated by the Private Sector Coalition Against Covid-19 also known as CACOVID.

Speaking on an AIT programme on Monday, the elder statesman disclosed that officials of an undisclosed state government once approached his office to sell COVID-19 palliatives.

He said, “I know of a state that all the palliatives taken from the Federal Government in that state was kept in stores and they came to my office to look for buyers of such commodities.

 

“They said the buyers should not be from that particular state.”

When asked if he shared the information with security agents, Galadima replied, “They are listening now. Anything I say on any interview, electronic or print, it is better for the security agencies not to look at it as coming from their enemies. It should be (seen as) coming from their friend, from a patriotic citizen who is sacrificing his life because what I am doing can cost me my life.”

Ekohotblog had earlier reported how, in the aftermath of EndSARS protest, mobs over the weekend invaded several warehouses where COVID-19 palliatives were stored and carted away food items before the arrival of security operatives.
