“Now that people confirmed that Buhari distributed enough palliatives nationwide, it is clear Buhari is not our problem,” she wrote.
Persecondnews had reported that at the weekend, the hoodlums rage continued unabated with “hungry and angry Nigerians” invading government COVID-19 palliative warehouses in different cities to loot them.

The looters had shouted why the palliatives were stored in warehouses in the midst of hunger and starvation.
Some said the items were purchased with tax payers money, saying that the people have decided to take back what belongs to them.
Others were angry that some of the palliatives donated by Coalition Against CACOVID-19 found their ways to the private warehouses of politicians including that of the Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Sanai Agunbiade.
After his warehouse was raided by the rampaging youths, Agunbiade explained that he wanted to distribute them on the occasion of his birthday.
