COVID-19: Iwo Residents Slam Sen Oriolowo for Distributing Sanitizer Instead of Food and Relief Materials

The Senator representing Osun West Senatorial District at the Nigerian 9th National Assembly, Senator Adelere Adeyemi Oriolowo, was dragged by Iwo residents for distributing washing hand bucket and sanitizer for Osun West instead of food and other relief packages.

Many Iwo residents have described such act by the distinguished Senator as shameful. It is believed the Governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola, has announced a total lockdown of the state in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus. However, people of the state cried out that it could be difficult to survive the lockdown since their means of daily bread would be at stake. Different individuals have been providing food and other relief packages for people.

Iwo residents, however, expected their distinguished Senator to extend such kind gesture to them. Though Senator Oriolowo distributed washing hand buckets, soap and sanitizer to keep them healthy and safe but Iwo residents showed displeasure at such shameful distribution. The song many were singing was hungry can kill faster than the virus itself, how could they survive under their room without daily activities that bring foods to their table.

Many believe if Hon Amobi Yinusa could distribute foods as relief packages at this difficult time then we could stop Senator Oriolowo to do such. Though many as well condemned Hon Amobi the way he handled the distribution of the emergence relief package. Many say it was never relief packages for people of Iwoland rather members of his political party. Some people even believe it was just an audio food package that could not such in town.

If Hon Amobi took such giant step to avail foods for people in Iwoland, what could actually be the reason why Senator Oriolowo failed to help Iwo people to cope with the restriction of movement in the state?
