She said that the Governor has since directed the Committee to ensure that opposition political parties got their share of palliatives items.
She charged youth leaders of opposition political parties including the All Progressives Congress (APC), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP ) and others of ensuring that their youths benefited from the gesture.
