The man who claimed he was confused described the move by Abiodun as an insult to him and the entire estate.

He urged Governor Abiodun not to force himself but to take back the palliative to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting they should match their words with action and not deceive the people.

He said:

"I was just at home when they brought this for me as palliative for the whole of Shokeye Estate. In this estate, we have 147 houses with families and tenants.

"I'm confused now; I don't know how to share this with 147 households in Shokeye Estate.

"I'm talking to Dapo Abiodun now; if you people know that you cannot do something, then don't do it.

"We are not hungry; we are not beggars. So we don't need your rice as palliative. This is not even up to one-eight of a bag of rice.
