“I Forgives All Those Who Accused Me Of Hiding COVID-19 Palliatives” – Sadiya Farouq

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar-Farouq, says she has forgiven all those who accused her of hiding COVID-19 palliatives meant for the poor.

The minister stated this while reacting to the discovery of food items and other COVID-19 palliatives in several warehouses across the country.

Speaking while fielding questions from journalists in Gusau on Monday, October 26, 2020, Mrs Umar-Farouq said:

“I am aware many people have made various spurious allegations and accusations against my person and my ministry over the way we distributed Federal Government palliatives to cushion the effect of COVID-19.

“I have always said I am carrying out my duties and responsibilities to the best of my ability and with fairness to all parts of the country.

“Now that they have realized their mistakes, l will only pray to God to forgive us all,” she maintained.
