Last week, there were reports that the federal government had distributed cash and palliative items worth N200 million and N100 million to senators and members of the House of Representatives respectively.

A statement issued by the special assistant to the president on social media, Dada Olusegun clarified that the President only distributed rice and other food items as palliatives and sort of constituency projects worth 100 million per federal constituency and n200 million per senatorial constituency.

He urged Nigerians to disregard any misinformation or propaganda that may suggest otherwise.
