TimesNow.com.ng recalls that the president, during his maiden media chat in Lagos on Monday, December 23, said he had been giving out palliative at his residence for over 25 years, and there has been no record of death.
Tinubu made the comment while faulting organisers of palliative sharing that led to stampedes and death in Abuja, Anambra, and Oyo state last week, where some Nigerians died during the incidents.
However, on Wednesday, December 25, Ndume took to social media to share a video of a long queue of Nigerians waiting for food palliative at Tinubu’s Bourdillon residence.
The senator wrote:
Some Nigerians have shared their views in the comment section on the senator’s post. Below are some of their reactions:

TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Abuja residents woke up to a fresh tragedy as seven children and three adults allegedly died in a stampede while struggling for palliative.
The Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja, began distributing palliatives to the local community, but the turnout was far greater than anticipated.
Eyewitnesses described the event as tragic and chaotic, adding that people started arriving at the venue as early as 4 am.
