The drama over the sit-at-home relief packages continues in Ogun State as Governor Dapo Abiodun releases the numbers of homes targeted in the intervention by his administration as the total lockdown of the state begins at 11.00 p.m today( Friday, April 3, 2020).

Governor announced that his administration is targeting five hundred thousand homes (500,000) in all the 236 wards of the state.

The añnouncement comes after it was revealed that fierce rival Senate Ibikunle Amosun is targeting twenty-five thousand families (25,000) with his own intervention.

The state governor in earlier pronouncement did not give a figure to the number of homes targetted in the “palliative measure” which kicks of tomorrow and is meant to help the residents tide over the initial fourteen days of the total lockdown in the fight against coronavirus.

Governor Abiodun had simply announced an intervention that would reach all the 236 wards in Ogun state and another major player Ladi Adebutu went toe to toe with him by announcing he would do the same – reach all the 226 wards in Ogun State.
