A resident of Ikosi Isheri Adeniji Abeniade has called on politicians to put an end to religious discrimination in the distribution of palliatives, following the recent series of distributions by the Federal, State, and Local Government.
Expressing her concerns, the resident emphasized the need for fair play in politics, asserting that all citizens should be treated equally regardless of their religious affiliation. She pointed out the disparity in palliative distribution, noting that while Christians have been observing fasting since February 14th, they have been overlooked in the distribution process. She questioned the fairness of this approach, especially considering that Christians are active participants in political campaigns and elections.
Highlighting the ongoing fasting periods for both Christians and Muslims, the resident urged government officials to distribute palliatives without religious or political bias. She emphasized the importance of addressing the pressing issues of hunger and poverty, which have been exacerbated by recent economic challenges, including subsidy removal and currency devaluation.
In light of these findings, Kosofe Post emphasized the urgent need for emergency intervention from all levels of government to alleviate the suffering of the populace.
