Nigerian singer, Jaywon, has reacted to the Kogi State government’s move to share palliatives to 1,500 widows in the state over the insecurity in the state.
Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo’s administration announced the distribution as part of a welfare initiative spanning all 21 local government areas.
However, Jaywon, alongside many Nigerians online, questioned the logic of distributing food items while the state struggles with widespread kidnappings and violence.
Taking to X, the singer slammed the government’s choice to prioritise palliative distribution, calling it an insensitive move amid rising insecurity.
Sharing palliatives while citizens are being killed and abducted is not just insensitive — it’s a failure of leadership.
Rather than addressing the insecurity plaguing Kogi State and finding real solutions, you’re distributing rice as a distraction.
This is disgraceful, Governor Ododo. Anyone praising your performance is only feeding your delusion, not helping the people.
