I forgive those accusing me of hiding Covid-19 palliatives – Sadiya Farouq

MINISTER of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq says she has forgiven those who accused her of hoarding Covid-19 palliatives meant for poor citizens.

Fielding questions from journalists in Gusau yesterday, Hajiya Farouq said, “I’m 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.

The minister, who was speaking when she paid homage to the Emir of Gusau, Alhaji Ibrahim Bello, said she has been carrying out her duties and responsibilities to the best of of her ability and with fairness to all parts of the country.

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