The lawmaker representing Enugu North Federal Constituency, Senator Okechukwu Ezea (LP-Enugu) on Monday said he has yet to receive bags of rice from the Federal Government for distribution as palliative to his constituents.
Ezea, who represents Enugu North at the National Assembly, said this in a statement made available to NATIONAL ACCORD in Abuja.
‘’I’m yet to receive any material palliative, whether money or food item, from the federal government for my constituents.
‘’However, in the event of receiving the palliative I will in line with my principle of equity and fairness share such palliative transparently”, the lawmaker said.
He added that: ‘’Given the enormity of hardship faced by my constituents, I at my own personal cost have gone ahead to distribute bags of rice in the new year across the 102 wards of my district.
‘’The distribution has been concluded at the local government level, while sharing of the items to the beneficiaries is currently ongoing across the ward,’’ he said.
