"Captain Sunday Adebomi Takes Initiative: Plans Palliatives for 1,000 Families Amid Economic Hardship in Ekiti".
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Captain Sunday Adebomi (retd) has concluded arrangements to support about 1000 families, particularly widows with palliatives to cushioning the effect of the current economic hardship.
Adebomi, a former Governorship aspirant in a statement made available to journalists in Ise-Ekiti said the current situation in the country called for concerted efforts of all and sundry.
The Ise-Ekiti born politician explained that part of his arrangements was to reach out to 50 people in each of the 16 Local Government areas of the Ekiti State.
The former chairman of the Ekiti State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) disclosed that governor Biodun Oyebanji was working round the clock to ensure that live become less cumbersome for the people, likewise President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, so I think they needed people to support them in this onerous task. Which is why I am coming out to take up the challenge.
He said nothing would be too small to support the poor masses in this challenging moments.
Captain Adebomi clarified that even though the party would be involved in the planning, the beneficiaries would be drawn from a wide spectrum of interests, stressing that the focus shall be the have not.
Speaking on the modality, Adebomi said, he intends to visit two Local Governments per week where the beneficiaries would be given the Cash gifts
According to him, while the State and Federal Government are also strategizing on how to cushion the negative effects of fuel subsidy removal, all hands must be on the deck to rescue Nigerians from the current pains.
”I am not a rich man but when you look at the current situation, particularly as it affects the masses, one must think about how to support the government, to bring succour to the masses.
“It is against this backdrop that I have decided to reach out to atleast 1000 people across the state in my own little way. My plan is to select 50 people in each Local Government, mostly widows and support them with cash gifts.
”We have gotten to the point where every well-to-do Nigerians must come up with different economic interventions as palliatives. It is true that we are all feeling the pains but some people are feeling it more. So it is responsibility of some of us who have more than others to share a little from what we have, so that we cannot reduce this social tension in the land.
“Let me use this opportunity to call on spirited Nigerians to come out and assist the people in whatever way. We cannot sit back and be waiting for government’s palliatives alone. The fact remains that government alone cannot solve the current challenges unless we support it, Adebomi reiterated."
