Progressives Congress (APC), of copying Governor Ayo Fayose's "stomach
infrastructure'' initiative.
Secretary of the party in the state, Dr Tope Aluko, who made the
criticism in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, added that the action of the
APC amounted to "hypocrisy at its peak."
He said Fayose's stomach infrastructure initiative was fully adopted
by the APC national Leader and former governor of Lagos state, Senator
Bola Tinubu.
"Tinubu distributed 2,000 bags of rice, vegetable oil, sugar and
little cash to people from various parts of Lagos State on Sunday.
"They abused us for providing immediate succour for our people. They
described stomach infrastructure as an insult to Ekiti people."
"They said it does not add value to the people; that it diminishes
their self-esteem, self-worth and that it denigrates what politics
ought to be about.
"However, their party leader in Lagos on Sunday adopted the same
concept of stomach infrastructure by personally sharing food items to
people.
"After condemning the concept, isn't it rather too late that the APC
people are just realising that poverty should be addressed by
providing immediate succour?
"Poverty is poverty; it knows no religion and it has no tribal mark;
and it affects everyone.
The secretary said that the Fayose-led government would never shy away
from the people's welfare.
"Fayose will continue to run peoples government. He will continue to
identify with the masses by putting food on their tables.
"Most importantly, Fayose will provide gainful employment for the
youths and assist traders with soft loans so that they can feed
themselves," the statement said
