Photos: Fagade distributes stimulus package to ease COVID-19 hit in Ibadan

Bisoye Fagade, an intercontinental businessman and media expert, on Friday distributed food items and cash worth millions of naira in Ibadan, Oyo state capital to cushion the effect of COVID-19 in the state.

Fadage,  the initiator and founder of ‘Oyo si Ma Dun’ (OSMD ) Foundation said the  COVID -19 stimulus relief is not for political reason but to alleviate the suffering of the people .

In a chat with journalists, the former gubernatorial aspirant under the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in the state said, “ This is  not the first time I will  be doing this,  but I have never put a name or tag on it, I have  always tried to help as much as I can out of the little God has given to us we tried to spread around. A lot of people that are hungry out there and like people use to say a hungry man is an angry man, in order to calm people down we should see how best we can actually extend  our hands of friendship and fellowship as better as  best as we can” .

When asked to give the  worth of the items distributed , Fagade said ” it worth every soul, naira and  kobo is not our problem in this country, I will rather not quantify what we have done but  I will look at it from the angle of  what it would do for the people we have done it to, there is no motivation behind it than the fact that I do not want to see people go hungry  and I feel that if I can do a little within my reach.

Responding to calls by people to participate in  Oyo politics, Fagade added, “I am not doing this for politics, I am not contesting for House of Representatives, I have ran for governorship in this state before , this is not  politically motivated,  these are things I have done overtime, I have always been involved in politics, this particular  move is not politically motivated  just to let people know that this is where these things are coming from.

While urging the people of Oyo state to  make use of the land by venturing into Agriculture , Fagde also urged  the government  to  focus on the people of  the state by providing basic things that would make people to enjoy dividends of democracy and good living.

“Oyo state is civil service state and  Federal allocation can only pay salary, this is not too good, government should look inward to generate more funds, the focus should be on  basic thing that will help day to day living of the people “, he said .

An APC leader in Oyo central Senatorial District, Prince Sanda said Fagade’s continuous efforts in alleviating peoples suffering is acknowledged and appreciated, he however urged him not to relent in his service to God and humanity
