Tinubu copying Fayose’s stomach infrastructure, says PDP

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ekiti on Monday
accused the All Progressives Congress (APC), of
copying Governor Ayo Fayose’s “stomach
infrastructure’’ initiative.
Secretary of the party in the state, Dr Tope
Aluko, who made the criticism in a statement in
Ado-Ekiti, added that the action of the APC
amounted to “hypocrisy at its peak.”
He said Fayose’s stomach infrastructure initiative
was fully adopted by the APC national Leader
and former governor of Lagos state, Senator Bola
Tinubu.
“Tinubu distributed 2,000 bags of rice, vegetable
oil, sugar and little cash to people from various
parts of Lagos State on Sunday.
“They abused us for providing immediate succour
for our people. They described stomach
infrastructure as an insult to Ekiti people.”
“They said it does not add value to the people;
that it diminishes their self-esteem, self-worth
and that it denigrates what politics ought to be
about.
“However, their party leader in Lagos on Sunday
adopted the same concept of stomach
infrastructure by personally sharing food items to
people.
“After condemning the concept, isn’t it rather too
late that the APC people are just realising that
poverty should be addressed by providing
immediate succour?
“Poverty is poverty; it knows no religion and it
has no tribal mark; and it affects everyone.
The secretary said that the Fayose-led
government would never shy away from the
people’s welfare.
“Fayose will continue to run peoples government.
He will continue to identify with the masses by
putting food on their tables.
“Most importantly, Fayose will provide gainful
employment for the youths and assist traders
with soft loans so that they can feed themselves,”
the statement said
